This study aims to analyze the aesthetics of wayang kulit performance in the folk tradition, and the research subject covers wayang kulit in the styles of East Java, Kedu, Banyumas, and Tegal. The problem discussed is the general artistic orientation of wayang kulit performance (pakeliran) in the folk tradition today. This study uses a qualitative method with an approach of art sociology and aesthetics of Javanese puppetry. The research data was collected through a library study, documentation study, observation, and interviews. The research results show that the artistic orientation of wayang kulit in the folk tradition today has changed, been combined with the keraton or court tradition and even packaged with elements of kitsch.
