Travel the world with shadows, stories and songs!
For thousands of years, people have manipulated puppets, and one of the oldest and most wonderful puppetry styles is shadow puppetry.

Audiences of all ages will enjoy this fun opportunity to experience world cultures and history, learn about traditional storytelling, all while witnessing the exciting evolution of shadow puppetry as an art form.
