As a child, Sukasman was fascinated by puppetry but his parents
discouraged him from
becoming an artist because they feared he would
not be able to make a
living. Thus, he studied
economics. After graduating, he felt uncomfortable with the
thought of working in the
business field. A puppeteer he
met explained to him that farmers produce food
for the stomach and business
people sell it to consumers, but
artists produce and deliver to the public food for
the heart and for the mind.
This helped Sukasman make up
his mind. He enrolled in an art academy
and took lessons in puppetry. His work became
the subject of much
criticism because of the variations in
sizes, shapes and colors of his puppets which
were a deviation from the
norm. He continued to work, even
though he sometimes had to sell his possessions
in order to live when his
puppets went unsold and
unperformed. Today Sukasman is a famous and successful
puppeteer. He produces
leather puppets and performs on request
by individuals, organizations and groups. He has
three workers who make the
puppets he designs. He has also written
stories to be staged by puppets. Sukasman has indeed come a long
way from his early days of discouragement. |
