Syrian Al-Fann Storytelling Shadow Play

Set up the light source facing the sheet with performers positioned behind it.

Puppeteers hold their cut-out figures close to the sheet to cast sharp shadows.

One narrator tells a short traditional tale while puppeteers move their figures to match the story.

The audience watches the shadow play unfold from the front of the sheet.

Swap roles between scenes so different players get a turn narrating or puppeteering.
