Abstract
Balinese see puppetry as the model and source of dance drama. A dalang (puppeteer) responds flexibly to the change from puppet, to masking, to human dancers and suits the needs of those seeking his/her expertise. To revive tourism, which had fallen due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 Sanur Village Festival (Sanfes) took the theme Surya Sewana (Glorifying the Sun). As a dalang, the author I Made Sidia, created a wayang wong (literally,“human puppetry”) performance staged at the festival telling the Ramayana story of the hermit Resi Wiswamitra, Rama, and Lakshmana carrying out the Surya Sewana ceremony to neutralize catastrophe. This innovative wayang wong was performed by young Balinese actors/dancers and accompanied by hybrid music (gamelan, keyboard, and bass), using digital technology and other innovations. The performance glorified the sun, rising above pandemic challenges as both a purification effort and a pragmatic attempt to renew Balinese tourism
