Sbek Thom, Khmer shadow theatre


The Wayang puppet theatre

'In the past puppeteer's were regarded as literary experts who transmitted philosophical, moral and aesthetic values through their art.'

The little theatre of dolls










ooh look what I found. Puppet theatre inside a tv! marvellous just what i had in mind. The dolls are fantastically whimsical and bizarre. Simple shadow puppetry is achieved with detailed backgrounds and entrancing music and it looks like they have loads of fun performing them. The Little Theatre of Dolls.

Wow Beautiful detailed objects. I particularly like the wooden theatre sets they look so magical I hope I could achieve this with my theatre. Helen Kemp
