Immerse yourself in traditional Indonesian dances, vibrant music, and powerful storytelling, all presented in English for everyone to enjoy. This is more than just a performance, it is a cultural experience you won't want to miss.
The Great Rahwana is a grand theatrical production that blends shadow puppetry, live performance, and a powerful musical score, bringing to life an epic tale of love, fate, and war.
Act 1: A World in Shadows – Inspired by Wayang Kulit, the renowned shadow puppet tradition, this act uses dramatic lighting, mesmerizing narration, and traditional gamelan music to set the stage for the legendary battle between Prince Rama, Princess Shinta, and King Rahwana.
Act 2: Shadows Come to Life – The puppets give way to a full-scale live performance, where intricate choreography, vibrant costumes, and an evocative original score immerse the audience in Rama’s heroic quest. As myth transforms into reality, witness the intensity of battle, the power of devotion, and the triumph of destiny in a visually and musically breathtaking finale.
A rare fusion of Eastern tradition and modern musical theatre, The Great Rahwana offers a truly immersive, world-class theatrical experience—right in the heart of Belfast.
