9/11 Sovannna Phum: New Shadow Puppet Theatre @ Meta House

Sovannna Phum: New Shadow Puppet Theatre
@ New Meta House - Cambodian German Cultural Center
#37 Sothearos Blvd. opposite of Buildbright / Phnom Penh centre

Saturday Sep. 11, 19:00

Sovanna Phum, Cambodia's only independent theatre, presents "Small Shadow Puppet Theatre." Originated from Java in the Angkor period, this art form was a popular entertainment until 1970.
Most of the artists died during the KR period. The puppets made of leather, can move their arms and legs, and the mouth can be opened. To perform, a large white screen is spread in a bamboo frame. The puppeteer is an all-round artist: singer, dancer, actor and sometimes narrator. In the framework of the French Cultural Center's "Lakhaon" festival you can enjoy two adaptions of fables by French writer Jean de la Fontaine: The Young Widow And The Donkey And Dog.
