Shadow puppet theatre likely originated in Central Asia-China or in India in the 1st millennium BCE. By at least around 200 BCE, the figures on cloth seem to have been replaced with puppetry in Indian 'tholu bommalata' shows. These are performed behind a thin screen with flat, jointed puppets made of colorfully painted transparent leather. The puppets are held close to the screen and lit from behind, while hands and arms are manipulated with attached canes and lower legs swinging freely from the knee. The evidence of shadow puppet theatre is found in both old Chinese and Indian texts. 1) There are several myths and legends about the origins of shadow puppetry in China. The most famous one has it that Chinese shadow puppetry originated when the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of Han (156 BCE - 87 BCE) died and magician Shao-weng promised to raise her spirit. 2) Shadow puppets are also an ancient part of India's culture, particularly regionally as the keelu bomme and Tholu bommalata of Andhra Pradesh, the Togalu gombeyaata in Karnataka, the charma bahuli natya in Maharashtra, the Ravana chhaya in Odisha, the Tholpavakoothu in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Shadow puppet play is also found in pictorial traditions in India, such as temple mural painting, loose-leaf folio paintings, and the narrative paintings. Dance forms such as the Chhau of Odisha literally mean "shadow". The shadow theatre dance drama theatre are usually performed on platform stages attached to Hindu temples, and in some regions these are called Koothu Madams or Koothambalams. In many regions, the puppet drama play is performed by itinerant artist families on temporary stages during major temple festivals. Legends from the Hindu epics Ramayana and the Mahabharata dominate their repertoire. However, the details and the stories vary regionally Wayang kulit means shadow play in both Malay and Javanese language, ('Wayang' - it means 'show' or some said it derived from the word 'bayang' which means 'shadow' and 'Kulit' which means 'skin'). Both languages are from the same language group so there is no need to argue about that. The fusion wayang kulit shown in the video is based on the Kelantanese Wayang Kulit which is specifically found in Malaysia which is likely influenced by the spread of hinduism in the region from India. However, it is totally different than the javanese/ indonesian wayang kulit (obviously the shape of the shadow puppets and the music instruments used is very different). Kelantanese Wayang Kulit actually share the same roots & history with Nang Talung (Southern Thailand) and Sbek Touch (Cambodia). The three shadow puppets have similar shapes and musical instruments used unlike the wayang kulit in indonesia. (FYI-Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia has a long history with each other since ancient times, especially in the times of the kingdom of Funan & Langkasuka). So in my opinion, clearly it can't be from indonesia. Indonesians should learn to respect others and stop claiming others' culture just because there were similarities in culture between you and other southeast asian countries. Indonesian culture itself also 'steal' a lot of culture from China, India, Middle East, and even Europe. Indonesians should learn the concept of 'shared-culture' instead of accusing others stealing your culture. They should also realise that their 'culture' aren't originally created by indonesians. Their 'culture' is just a mix of foreign culture which is just innovated and developed through time. Most of it developed when trade (with indians, chinese, arabs, persians, dutchs, british, portuguese etc) & the spread of religions (hinduism/buddhism/islam/christianity) flourishes
