SHADOW PLAY

Shadow play is an ancient form of storytelling that uses flat articulated cut-out figures or shadow puppets between a source of light and a translucent screen. Various visual effects can be achieved by moving both the puppets and the light source. It is popular in many places along the Grand Canal, including Hebei and Zhejiang. In 2011, Chinese shadow play was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
