These boys are called Pagar Bagus while the girls Pagar Ayu. The man standing in between is a Cucuk Lampah or chief guide. Their job is to accompany and provide help to the bride and groom during a wedding, especially in Javanese wedding tradition. The Pagar Bagus and Pagar Ayu must consist of those who are still unmarried and virgin--though actually no one knows how to make sure such a thing like virginity :-)

Yang pria disebut Pagar Bagus, yang perempuan Pagar Ayu. Yang berdiri di tengah itu Cucuk Lampah atau pemandu utama. Tugasnya mendampingi dan membantu mempelai selama upacara pernikahan, terutama dalam tradisi Jawa. Pagar Bagus dan Pagar Ayu harus terdiri dari mereka yang masih lajang dan masih perawan--walaupun kita tahu sebetulnya sulit untuk memastikan keperjakaan dan keperawanan :-)

Wayang Beber is an earlier form of today's Indonesian Wayang Kulit shadow puppet play. Its performing technique is far simpler than wayang kulit. In Wayang Beber, the stories are painted on the rolled-up sheets of cloth--or on papyrus during its earlier stage. During the show, the gamelan music is played while each sheet is unrolled, one by one, to display the picture to the audience. At the same time, the story is narrated by the storyteller or dalang. "Beber" literally means "to unroll" or "to reveal". Wayang Beber began to exist under the Jenggala kingdom of East Java in the early of the 13th century. Today, this traditional theater is extinct in the most part of Java and can only be found in two small regions, Pacitan and Wonosari.

Wayang Beber merupakan awal-mula pertunjukan Wayang Kulit masa kini. Teknik pementasannya jauh lebih sederhana. Pada Wayang Beber, ceritanya digambar di atas gulungan kain--atau di atas daun lontar pada masa-masa yang lebih awal. Selama pertunjukan, gamelan dimainkan dan satu demi satu gulungan gambar dibeber atau dibentangkan, sementara si dalang bercerita. Wayang Beber mulai muncul sejak zaman kerajaan Jenggala di Jawa Timur pada awal abad ke-13. Sekarang teater tradisional ini sudah punah dan hanya bisa dijumpai di dua daerah kecil, yakni di Pacitan dan Wonosari.

Gunungan (from the word "gunung") literally means "mountain". Gunungan is an essential part in the wayang kulit shadow puppet play. It symbolizes all things that exist in the universe, just as the stories played in wayang kulit are allusions to ironies in human life. Every character in wayang kulit also represents human characters in real world. That's why wayang kulit takes its performance as a shadow theater. It is meant to be the shadow of human life itself. Being a symbol of the whole, gunungan is used by the storyteller (dalang) to mark the beginning and the closing of a story. It is also the marker of every act or chapter.

Gunungan adalah bagian penting dalam pentas wayang kulit. Ia melambangkan segala yang ada dalam jagad raya, sebagaimana lakon yang dikisahkan dalam pertunjukan wayang kulit pun merupakan kiasan ironi kehidupan manusia. Perilaku setiap tokoh wayang kulit mencerminkan watak manusia di dunia nyata. Itulah mengapa wayang kulit dipentaskan dalam bentuk bayang-bayang, sebab kisahnya merupakan bayangan kehidupan kita sendiri. Sebagai simbol jagad gumelar, gunungan dipakai dalang untuk menandai awal dan akhir cerita. Gunungan juga dipakai untuk menandai setiap pergantian babak.
