Shadow Theatre in Cambodia is one of the most traditional formats for storytelling. the performance involves the projection of light or fire on a white screen, on which performers use puppets to produce shadows. The Cambodian art of Shadow Theatre utilizes puppets made of leather, called Sbaek in Khmer language. Each style is fashioned by craftsmen according to traditional methods. Made from specially treated cowhide, the leathers used for shadow puppetry have been treated, naturally dyed, designed and hand carved by Mann Kosal, the puppetry master of the Sovanna Phum Association and three of his employees. Accompanied by the artists you will go through all the steps of this creation and will bring home your piece of art!
