Beschrijving
Learn about the history and cultural significance of Chinese shadow puppetry in this hands-on workshop. Create your own puppet and bring it to life in a playful shadow-puppet performance.
Step into the colorful world of Chinese shadow puppetry, an ancient form of storytelling that combines craftsmanship, painting, music, and performance. Discover the history, cultural meaning, and traditional craftsmanship behind shadow puppetry.
Learn how performers place intricately carved and painted leather figures behind an illuminated translucent screen, using rods to bring emperors, warriors, mythical creatures, and folk characters to life.
Then, guided by a local instructor, color your own puppet, assemble its movable joints, and learn how to control it using traditional rods. Once your puppet is ready, step behind the illuminated screen and bring your character to life in a playful shadow-puppet performance.
No artistic experience is needed—your instructor will guide you through each stage. At the end of the workshop, take home the shadow puppet you created as a unique, handmade souvenir of your journey.
