description Wayang Gedek Overview
Wayang Kulit Gedek is a Malaysian shadow-puppet theatre associated especially with Kedah and other northern states of Peninsular Malaysia. Its performance style was influenced by Nang Talung from southern Thailand, and its costume designs, dialect, and storytelling differ from Kelantan wayang kulit. The tradition may draw on the Ramayana while also presenting shorter stories about contemporary issues, distinguishing it from the Kelantan form.
