Shadow puppetry is a very, very old art. It has probably been around for as long as people have been making shadows. Shadow theatre has thrived in Turkey, India, Southeast Asia, Egypt, and Europe. Even today in the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java, master puppeteers perform traditional tales accompanied by live music, bringing to life many different characters in epic legends that sometimes last all night long. Many of these stories concern the origins of the moon, the constellations people see, and the mystery of the starry sky.
Through puppets young people can learn about these myths and legends and can have fun making up their own and have the chance to “touch the sky”.
GOAL: To discover one’s own and other cultures’ different stories amd legends about the sky.
