The 2000 year old art of Chinese shadow puppetry provides a great vehicle for bringing together art and literature. Although the puppets in Chinese shadow theater are small, the productions are anything but short of operatic. With musical scores, detailed backdrops, and highly involved-plot lines, both young and old, rich and poor enjoyed watching this popular folk art. For 2,000 years, the puppets have brought to life Peking opera, Chinese folk tales and fantasies of Old China.
