Fun fact. These shadow puppets are made of donkey skin while the screen is made of goat skin. Getting under that skin: this is Shadow Puppetry Master Fan, who is the 7th generation Master from the Taishan Shadow Puppet Art Troupe (China). This art form has a history of more than 600 years and was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. It's usually performed by a single performer who recites dialogue, sings songs, manipulates the puppet, and plays the instruments by his feet, all at the same time! Last set this evening 15 Sep at 7.45pm and 9pm.
