Attention is paid to the issue of heritage, questioning to which extent wayang kulit practices are participating to the intangible cultural heritage discourse and to which extent wayang recognition as a world ICH is having impact on it. However, the intention of this research is to know wayang kulit in a broader context, how wayang kulit is and is alive – in between continuous forces – at the contemporary on going time in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Along the utopian path in which I collocate myself – to move with/through/in wayang, in between making and performing – it is to disclose how in live experiences, multidimensional relations between puppets, people, stories and places make wayang kulit alive, shaping wayang polysemy and multiontology.
