Keywords/Index entries: puppets Shadow Theatre
Summary:Before the advent of cinema, Shadow Puppet Theatre, has been prevalent and most popular, for many centuries in India. The Shadow Puppeteers are the 'original filmmakers', who by manipulating leather puppets in front of a light source, created moving images on the screen. They led a nomadic life style, traveling, camping, setting up screens, and performing the story of Ramayana, adapting local languages and flavors. Today, there are only a few shadow puppeteers still practicing this art form. Stories and life styles have changed. This film, with the Shadow Puppeteers, living in South India, is a celebration and dedication to the art of moving images and to its original practitioners and community. An impressionistic ethnography, reflecting on shadow puppet theatre, history, mythology, cinema and our lives. A journey, in search of the missing link that is common for all communities, cultures, traditions and artistic expressions.
