lantern shows

Lantern shows are performances or displays that use lanterns—light sources enclosed in decorative or artistic casings—to create visual art, storytelling, or entertainment. These shows often involve arranging lanterns in specific patterns or shapes, sometimes synchronized with music or narration, to produce captivating visual experiences. Historically, lantern shows have been used for cultural celebrations, festivals, and artistic expression across various cultures worldwide. Modern versions may incorporate digital technology or intricate designs, transforming simple light displays into immersive and creative performances that engage audiences through visual storytelling.
