Playing my part at Asia Society...
Mas Purbo is one of only a very few dalang [puppeteers] who at the same time are first-rate performers of the classical style, but also put forth an original and fresh interpretation of the Mahabharata stories…I am truly impressed by him…He never over-acts.
— Goenawan Mohamed (founder of Tempo magazine and author of the weekly Catatan Pinggir)
