Review of Semar’s Journey

"Otherwise, much of the production's success was due to Sutrisno Hartana. As dalang, or master of ceremonies, he was required to act, sing, compose tunes, provide sound effects, and chivvy the show along, all of which he accomplished with grace and good humour. But wayang kulit is not so much about stars as it is about community. A total of 23 musicians, singers, writers, and technicians contributed to Semar's Journey, and they can all be proud of what they accomplished."
