Learn how to make and play the shadow puppet in this 3-hour workshop, guided by a puppeteer in Penang. Shadow puppetry is an ancient form of entertainment and storytelling. In Malaysia, this is known as "wayang kulit" and traditionally depicted mythical tales. In this hands-on workshop, we will guide you through the process of making your own "wayang kulit" character, and reveal the age-old techniques to bring the shadow puppets to life.
