  Ketoprak is a form of traditional performing art originating from Central Java, especially the city of Surakarta.  This art displays legendary, historical or fictional stories related to Javanese culture, accompanied by gamelan music and dialogue in Javanese. Ketoprak is also known as Kêthoprak Mataram, because much of it takes its background from the Islamic Mataram Kingdom.  This art has distinctive characteristics such as costumes, make-up, props and movements that are typical of Java. Ketoprak also often inserts elements of humor, satire or social criticism in its stories.  The history of Ketoprak art cannot be accurately confirmed, but there are several versions circulating.  One version says that Ketoprak art comes from a game played by village girls when the moon is full.  They play by rhythmically hitting the mortar (a place for pounding rice), while singing Javanese songs.
