Shadow plays feature transparent shapes or puppets that are worked against a screen and lit from behind. Their colors and details are seen by the audience, so they aren’t just a shadow but a much more dynamic representation. Shop a collection of Chinese puppets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
