All about Shadow Puppets
Shadow puppets are flat cut-out figures held between a light and a screen. Light passes around the puppet and creates a dark shadow on the screen. Puppeteers move the figures to act out a story while the audience watches the shadows.
Shadow puppet theatre is an old art form found in many parts of Asia. Shadow puppets are often made from leather or card, and the shapes can be very detailed.
