Chinese Shadow Theatre

Description

    The Hefei Mapai Shadow Theatre Troup is coming to Sweden for the first time, playing for children. Shadow Theatre is a 2000 years tradition, starting in Han-dynasty, but now unfortunately on it´s way to vanish, so this is a quite rare occasion. The scene is simple; it is the delicate performance that attracts the audience. Shadows of flat leather sculptures are projected on a white fabric screen with light, creating mysterious sceneries. The stage take place in a small beautiful arch in Queen Kristinas castle, perfect for rear-illuminated puppet show. Duration: 60 min (divided into two plays à 30 min.) Dates: June 3 at 16.00 June 4 at 9.00, 13.00 and 17.00 June 5 at 17.00 Place: China Cultural Center Västra Trädgårdsgatan 2 111 53 Stockholm Please book your seat here: mail@cccstockholm.org OBS.
