Firefly Shadow Theater takes the ancient art of shadow theater to intriguing contemporary heights. Using a lighted screen either in a live performance or on video, we present original stories, experimental pieces, comic vignettes, as well as off-beat adaptations of little-known tales. Visually stunning puppets and scenes, which are all Firefly Shadow Theater creations, are illuminated by a variety of lighting effects. Part spectacle, part Commedia dell 'Arte, totally delightful!
“The performance was charming, remarkably inventive, humorous and fascinating for adults as well as children. That these delicate figures were able to hold an audience used to the bold velocity, brilliant colors and awesome hi-technology of digitized animated films is a credit to Firefly’s selection and use of stories, sound effects, voices, music, and, most of all, the delightful artistry in the creation and operation of the puppets.”
