This final thesis deals with the design, technology, and creation of puppets for shadow theatre. The inspiration comes from the Javanese shadow puppet tradition of wayang kulit, with its elements—transparency, puppet coloration, and animation techniques—adapted for this project. The concept is grounded in the thematic framework of the book The Magnificent Saturn by Adrian P. Kezele, which explores life's challenges and difficult periods, while the focus of this work is on the relationship between the boy Maitreya and the teacher Parashara, and their shared learning of life's challenging lessons. The puppet making process begins with sketching the characters, screens, and stage elements, followed by the selection of materials that integrat aesthetic and technological aspects. The envisioned performance is designed as a chamberpiece, aimed at creating an intimate atmosphere that reflects the theme of personal transformation, both for the main character and the audience. Shadow theatre is utilized due to its mystical atmosphere, which mirrors the characters' life experiences and their connection to Vedic astrology. The puppets are crafted according to the Javanese tradition, incorporating elements of wayang kulit—puppets mounted on a single rod, with one or two movable limbs, made from transparent colored material, in this case, Plexiglas. This technique aligns with the interpretation of the Indian legend of King Vikrama, upon which The Magnificent Saturn is based. The thesis combines traditional theatrical forms with a contemporary interpretation of a literary work throught the visual art of puppetry.
