Draw me a shadow

A lesson in shadow puppetry

---

It’s a meeting, a dialogue between us, a show. A shadow artist creates shadows of characters and animals with his hands, arms and body. No props are used. All that is needed is a body and a lamp. This practice has existed since the origins of humanity. First, fire or moonlight was used to cast shadows on the walls of caves. Then came walls, screens, candles and finally electric light. Reconnect with this little-known discipline that everyone knows.

In the shadow of curiosities

Magic theater

---

In the shadow of the manor, two children have come to take refuge tonight. Will they manage to discover the secret of the room of curiosities?

It’s been a long time since anyone has ventured to push open the door of the old manor house at the top of the town. On this autumn night, two children enter this forgotten house. Illuminated by their flashlight, they discover the dining room, but the shadows highlight other curiosities. Dream or reality?
