My ol' man grew up in Hong Kong and he brought back several shadow puppets which he had on display in our house. Use to scare me when I was a kid! Now I'm over this side of the world, I wanna take the chance to see a shadow puppet show (and eventually conquer my fear). Any reports?
I saw a shadow puppet show a few years ago in Kaifeng, Henan and I really enjoyed it.
It is amazing what they can achieve with such a simple puppets, specially when representing animals and landscapes
However, the show that I saw lasted 10-15 minutes, if you go to a longer show you might get bored as the stories tend to be quite simple
Only shadow puppet show i've ever seen was on 'Once Upon A Time In New York' if I remember rightly. DeNiro getting high in an opium den while the shadows danced. I'd be up for that show.
