Budi and the Hornbill

Story Line

Based on the Sumatran folk tale "An Honest Man", this shadowlight theatrical performance follows Budi, an earnest-to-a-fault fisherman, as he unwittingly ensnares a magical hornbill. What follows will test his honesty and resolve, with a chance at wealth and royalty on the other side.

“Who but an honest man would give up the chance to have the wealth and power of a king?”
