What is "shadow puppetry"?
Shadow puppetry is a form of storytelling where figures or shapes are created using puppets made from flat materials, such as paper or leather. These puppets are positioned between a light source and a screen, casting their shadows onto the screen. Performers move the puppets to create characters and scenes, often accompanied by narration or music. The resulting shadows create a visual story that is both engaging and imaginative.
