Javanese dance flourishes in Indonesian theatre

Wayang Orang dancers prepare for their show at the Bharata Theatre in Jakarta May 5, 2012.

Wayang Orang, or Human Theatres, is a type of traditional Javanese dance. A revival of immemorial culture allows the Bharata Theatre to show Jakarta an art once restricted to aristocrats. Wayang Orang is influenced by Hinduism and can involve more than 100 people as dancers and musicians.
