【Shadow Play】
Shadow puppetry(#皮影戏) is an ancient Chinese folk drama where performers manipulate leather or paper silhouettes behind a backlit screen, accompanied by singing and music to tell stories. It blends carving, performance, and music, often called ”the art of light and shadow“ and considered a precursor to cinema.
We specially invites Wei Jinquan(#魏金全), a national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor, to explore the new vitality of shadow puppetry and fashion in the contemporary context with us.
