he atmosphere of the Wayang Orang Bharata Performance Building
in Jakarta looked lively that afternoon, February 23, 2022. The musicians: Kadar, Bayu, Samsi, and others beat the gamelan, lightly, just to strengthen the accompaniment for the later performance. Towards evening, the performers, including Dewanto, Mudjo Setyo, Haryadi, Susilo, Angga, and Rani began to change costumes and apply makeup.
The crew such as Joko H, Trio Marino, Rahman, Ujang, and Hanok immediately decorated the stage, prepared gunungan wayang, and checked the lights and microphones. That afternoon, the Wayang Orang Bharata Association with Production Leader Teguh Kenthus A performed the play of Palguna Palgunadi.
