I hear that leather puppets are quite popular in Yogyakarta....?

Question

Can someone tell me exactly what goes on at a leather puppet show??

Answer 1

this has something to do with bondage right?  I am so out of the loop..is this anything like the peenpuppeteering show in Chicago?  It had something to do with the bending, squishing and shaping of male genitalia...

Answer 2

The leather is used for Kokigami.

Answer 6

Kind of like what goes on at a leather g*y bar.  People sticking their fist up a hole and lots of funny noises.

<<< Getting a VN for sure.

Answer 7

Nothin' special...you just stick your hand up a cow's azz...

Answer 8

If the leather puppet has zippers on it--you may want to make sure you sit next to the door.

Answer 9

  Well I'm from Yogya,personally I'm not leather puppet person,but my late parents used to like it very much.Basicly the story that played mostly about Ramayana or Mahabharata,Ramayana is about Rama and Shinta and Mahabharata is about 5 knight fight with 100 bad knight,you know  what I mean good vs evil.And the best part normally is when the Punakawan comes out,which is Semar,Gareng,Petruk and Bagong,they gave some comedy in the story.I prefer to see wayang orang.    

Answer 10

What scares me is that you are old enough to vote.

Answer 11

In the rainy season, we offer leather puppet Showcase Showdowns.  Each leather puppet is offered a showcase of fine prizes, and then they are asked to bid on each showcase.

The puppet who comes closest to the correct Showcase value is declared "winner", and is then promptly fashioned into stylish leather shoes.

Answer 12

LMFAO @ kokigami ..... I want to be the dragon, they even have scripts.

RYU: The Dragon

The crafty Dragon likes to breathe his fire into the dark jeweled cave.

Ravaging, vengeful, sly.

The Call: "Where are my precious jewels? My treasures? My trophies? Are they hidden in your dark cave?"

The Reply: "Come on hot stuff! Careful the iron gates don't snap shut and sever your burning tongue!"

The Play: With arms outstretched and fingers curled like claws, move forward warily with the knees bent. The hips may be flicked about spasmodically accompanied by the low seductive roar of a raging furnace.

Answer 13

That's a very good question, Celeste.  It's nice to see you taking an interest in the local culture of Yogiyamkarpa.  

I haven't personally been to a leather puppet show because, honestly I don't give a d**n.  I would assume a lot of hand-manipulation and other overtly perverted sounding things.
