Marc Hoffman presents an evening of traditional, Indonesian shadow puppetry in his fascinating new performance, “Clearing the Wonomarto Forest.”
Marc Hoffman Shadow Puppetry and Best Medicine Rep Theater Company present an evening of Indonesian shadow puppetry. The sons of Pandu have been exiled to the wild and dangerous Wonomarto Forest! Don't miss this unique, free event: Clearing the Wonomarto Forest. One night only: Saturday, April 2 at 7pm at Best Medicine Rep. Admission is free. Seating is extremely limited. Reservations must be made through the website.
Marc Hoffman began studying Indonesian shadow puppetry at California Institute of the Arts. He continued his studies in Indonesia at the state arts academy and at the Mangkunegaran court puppetry school in Surakarta, Central Java. He performs in English and usually presents stories from the traditional Javanese repertoire, which have their basis in Hindu epics as they have been extensively altered by centuries-long presence in Central Java. Unlike the traditional wayang, this performance will not be 8 hours long! Figure more on 90 minutes.
Admission is free. Seating is extremely limited and tickets must be reserved through Best Medicine Rep's website.
All patrons must wear masks and show proof of fully vaccinated status.
Best Medicine Rep is located on the lower level of Lakeforest Mall (701 Russell Avenue, Gaithersburg). Park outside the Yellow Sun entrance, between Macy's and where Silver Diner used to be. From there, head into the mall and bear right. We will appear on the left next to Bath & Body Works.
