Northport Public Library

         The Northport Arts Coalition, in cooperation with the Library, presents a rare theatrical experience with Tamara Fielding—Javanese shadow master, lecturer, and author.  “Wayang Kulit” (y-young-coo-lit), Indonesia’s spectacular theatre of shadows, combines the creative elements of Javanese puppet theatre, music, mythology, history, and storytelling. Rooted in an ancient belief that our ancestors’ spirits return to earth and inhabit the puppets’ shadows, the shadow master casts the puppets’ shadows on an illuminated story cloth.
