- 團隊介紹 Introduction
FUSION WAYANG KULIT (FWK) is an award-winning team from Malaysia, founded by Tintoy Chuo in 2012, with the 13th accredited Master Puppeteer (Tok Dalang), Mr. Pak Dain, as chief director. The troupe is invested in reviving traditional shadow puppetry art by incorporating it with the digital/multimedia discipline. They also often adopt pop cultures as their creative themes, such as Star Wars, Batman, Bruce Lee, Ed Sheeran, and Japanese anime Macross and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The troupe created the first-ever transformable wayang kulit puppet in the world, the Macross-inspired Valkruda Seta.
Fusion Wayang Kulit（FWK）是來自馬來西亞屢獲殊榮的團隊，由 Tintoy Chuo（卓元炳）創立，並由偶戲大師（Tok Dalang）Pak Dain 進行演出。團隊致力於復興傳統皮影戲，將偶戲藝術與數位化、與多媒體領域融合，並經常以流行文化做為題材，例如：《星際大戰》、蝙蝠俠、李小龍、紅髮艾德（Ed Sheeran），以及日本動畫（超時空要塞、新世紀福音戰士等）。FWK 創建了第一個可變形的皮影偶，靈感來自於超時空要塞的 Valkruda Seta。
- 偶戲創作及願景 Mission and Vision
FUSION WAYANG KULIT (FWK) usually produces sci-fi or fantastical stories, and some of the plays involve discussions about social issues. However, to maintain the purity of works or productions, they avoid politics in their pieces.
Their creative process begins with scratching the story outline after coming up with some ideas. If the story is interesting and inspiring, they will then discuss the details of the play with the puppeteers.
FWK only performs with wayang kulit, and they always design and build their own puppets. Tintoy Chuo, the founder, believes that the advantage of shadow puppetry lies in that the audiences do not see the puppeteers. When the puppeteers perform different characters using their voice expressions, the audiences can easily believe that it is the character speaking.
FUSION WAYANG KULIT (FWK) 通常會製作科幻或幻想類型的故事，當中也會包含一些社會議題在裡面，但是為了維持作品或製作的單純，他們試著避免談到政治。
有了創作想法之後，會先試著做出整個故事的大綱，如果感覺故事具有發展性，接著會跟偶戲師傅討論整齣戲的細節。
FWK 只用影戲（Wayang Kulit）演出，自行設計及製作戲偶。創辦人 Tintoy Chuo 認為影戲的優勢在於，觀眾看不到操偶師，當偶戲師傅運用聲音表情變化轉換角色，觀眾更能相信那是角色在說話。
