Shadow puppets are figures made from flat materials, like paper or cardboard, that are used to create images on a screen or wall when light shines behind them. The puppeteer moves the figures to tell a story, and the shadows cast can vary in size and shape depending on the distance from the light source.
This art form has a long history and is found in many cultures around the world, including Indonesia with its famous Wayang Kulit performances. Shadow puppetry combines storytelling, music, and visual art, making it a unique and engaging form of entertainment.
