The Constitutional Court in cooperation with Banyumas Regency government held an all night long shadow puppet show at Baturradden field in Banyumas, Central Java on Saturday (2/6). The shadow puppet show which was started at 21.00 was performed by puppet master Ki Daulat Darmo Carito presenting Wahyu Tejo Mulyo (Javanese literature) story.

The event was preceded by remarks from Constitutional Justice Dr. Harjono, SH., MCL and Vice Regent of Banyumas Drs. Imam Durori, M.Ag. In his remarks, Dr. Harjono conveyed that shadow puppet is a traditional local media which up to now is still considered as relatively effective to disseminate and enculcate information to the public.
