JAKARTA – Sad news reached the world of Indonesian puppets. One of the famous puppeteers, Ki Seno Nugroho passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. WIB.
With the launch of Wikipedia, since the age of 10, Ki Seno Nugroho has started to enter the world of wayang. At the age of 15 he began his career as a puppeteer.
The man who was born in Yogyakarta on August 23, 1972, fell into the world of wayang while still in Yogyakarta Middle School of Arts.
The beginning of his immersion in this world was due to his admiration for the figure of Ki Manteb Soedharsono, who made him take an interest in puppets and continue to cultivate them.
Seno doesn’t have his own puppet studio yet, but from time to time some people from abroad learn to perform puppets with him. He also has his own musical group called Wargo Laras with about 50 members.
