Ludruk back to thumbnails
He is one of the three actors of Ludruk show who acts as a male in the performance, the rest of the actors are men transgender, the reason is that when the Ludruk started, couple centuries ago, to be a woman in the stage was tabu, so only men could do the interpretation, and also the comedians had to face a hard part, moving the stage to one village to another, looking for new viewers. Now a days, the old tradition keeps. And no real woman are in the stage.
