An Introduction to Teochew Rod Puppets

https://lessonsgowhere.com.sg/ Shadow Puppetry has long been part of Singapore's traditional arts. Known in Malay as Wayang Kulit and in Chinese as 纸影戏, both cultures have maintained the art through our kampong days till today. As we seldom get a chance to see shadow puppetry in Singapore these days, we hope this video will help to generate some interest in this traditional art. With intricate puppets skillfully manipulated by rods, this traditional art form is now seldom see in Singapore, with just one or two practitioners left. As part of Singapore's SG50 celebrations, we're glad to have the experts from Paper Monkey introducing to us this traditional art form.
