Two puppets,
one in each hand

Play two leather shadow puppets on the lamp-lit kelir. Your webcam tracks both hands, just as a dalang holds the sticks.

• Left & right handEach hand holds one character: left hand plays left puppet, right hand plays right puppet.
• PalmThe body stick (gapit). The puppet follows it.
• Thumb & indexPuppet's arm rods (tuding). Spread, raise or pinch them.
• Tilt handThe puppet leans dynamically with your hand tilt.
• Closer to cameraLifts puppet off screen so its shadow grows & softens.
• Little fingerShow pinky: puppet performs its signature dance (kiprahan) on beat.
