Mulan Shadow Play in Shanghai

Date: Nov 24 - 9:30 am

Venue: Ciro's Performing Arts Theater

Shanghai Puppet Theater is staging a new shadow play of the timeless fable "Mulan". The story of Hua Mulan, a girl who disguises herself as a man and goes to war in place of her elderly father has been adapted into numerous works. This new shadow play version of the beloved story includes stunning sets, sentimental music and fantasy elements that breathe fresh life into an age-old art form.

Shadow plays using silhouette puppets have a history of more than 2,000 years in China. These puppets are projected onto a backlit curtain while their articulating limbs are manipulated by artisans behind the screen, typically to the accompaniment of music.
