This article explores the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity in preserving Wayang Kulit Kedu, an important Indonesian cultural heritage art performance. It identifies the diminishing engagement of the younger generations with traditional arts as a critical issue. The objective was to assess strategies for revitalizing youth interest in Wayang Kulit Kedu. This study uses a qualitative approach to analyze historical data, contemporary practices, and educational initiatives. This conclusion underscores the importance of integrating Wayang Kulit Kedu into educational curricula, leveraging digital platforms for broader dissemination, and fostering community-based preservation efforts. These strategies are essential for ensuring the survival and relevance of the art form in modern society, highlighting its unique cultural value, and fostering a sustainable connection with future generations.
