Shadow Plays:
Butterfly Kiss, The Mitten &
The 3 Billy Goats Gruff
One of the oldest forms of puppetry, shadow puppetry has been around since
the 1st millenium BCE.
“Shadow play is popular in various cultures, among
both children and adults in many countries around
the world. More than 20 countries are known to have
shadow show troupes. Shadow play is an old tradition
and it has a long history in Southeast Asia, especially
in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia. It
has been an ancient art and a living folk tradition in
China, India and Nepal. It is also known in Egypt,
Turkey, Greece, Germany, France and the United States.” - Wikipedia
