Shadow puppetry: Old art, young blood
A shadow puppet portraying Hua Mulan, a fictional folk heroine in ancient China, at a shadow puppetry theater in Tengchong, Yunnan Province. (People s Daily Online/Meng Bin) Sleeping in the showcase, a shadow puppet may look like nothing special. Without a good look, one probably couldn t tell it from the paper-cuttings commonly seen in art galleries. Just hold on. A nocturnal creature, the puppet usually comes out after sunset; only in the hands of a puppeteer will it wake up and begin its daily stretches. When the light source and music are ready, the puppets, controlled by rods, will step onto the stage, a translucent cloth screen illuminated from behind, and the show is on.
