Shadow Theatre

Shadow theatre is a performance art where performers manipulate cut-out figures or shapes behind a translucent screen, creating shadow images viewed by an audience. These shadows depict stories, characters, or scenes, often complemented by music or narration. It originated in various cultures worldwide and relies on precise positioning, lighting, and movement to bring the silhouettes to life. The art form blends storytelling with visual artistry, inviting viewers to interpret the shadows while emphasizing creativity and craftsmanship behind the silhouetted images.
