JAKARTA: The culture and museum agency will hold a Betawi puppet play this weekend as an alternative form of entertainment for city families.
Antara reported Friday that the play would be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Plaza Taman Fatahillah park in West Jakarta.
The park is situated in front of the Jakarta History Museum, better known as Fatahillah Museum.
"The story is of Jampang, the Betawi hero," agency head Aurora Frida Tambunan said.
Puppeteer Tizar Purbaya had modified the puppets to be able to release smoke from theirs mouths when pretending to smoke, Aurora said.
Aurora said she expected the public would be able to enjoy the entertainment while strolling around the Old Town area.
The Jakarta administration is currently putting the area in order as part of its Old Town revitalization project.
