The theatre in this vacant plot (formerly an amusement park now undergoing redevelopment) is the unlikely venue of one of the best shows in Java! Traditional dance performances by Solo's esteemed and long-running wayang orang (masked dance-drama) troupe involve hundreds of magnificently costumed participants and a full gamelan orchestra. Performances are given several times per week to sadly dwindling audiences.
It’s well worth dropping by to experience this form of ritualised drama; it's acceptable to leave early.
