It is one of the popular performing arts in society and also has close links with various religious ceremonies. This art is performed at night using screens (kelir) and oil lamps (blencong).
The Wayang Parwa show has a long duration (3-4 hours) and usually involves several people, namely: the puppeteer, the assistant puppeteer, and the penabuh of Gender Wayang.
This art performance is more of entertainment for the audience (secular).
