Chinese Theatre Works presents Chinese Shadow Theatre! Chinese shadow performance has a history going back 2000 years. This theater tradition uses beautifully carved and colored animal-hide figures, manipulated behind cloth screens in order to portray vivid episodes from history, literature and folklore. Through two stories— “The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Shadow” and “The Zodiac Parade”— Chinese Theatre Works shares this beautiful art form with fun and whimsy. Participants will get an up close look at traditional leather puppets and a hands-on opportunity to learn about this ancient art form.
