AAWAA Shadow Puppet Workshops 2007

AAWAA Gallery I, 136 15th Street Brooklyn, NY 11215

AAWAA introduced a short episode from the Chinese literary classic Journey to the West  to the Brooklyn elementary public school students in the form of a Shadow Puppet Play followed by an introductory puppet-making workshop. The creation of the new Shadow Puppet Play, Buddha subdued Monkey King Sun Wu Kung is about a Monkey who was born with great magic power. He was mischievous but good natured and kind hearted. However the ‘world’ around him was not so and he got himself into all kinds of trouble until Buddha was called to subdue him. The play is 7 minutes long.
