Shadow theater has come a long way from the days when inanimate cut-outs were used against light, to create shadows that would tell a story. From fingers to men, shadows today are created by many animate sources, which help create magic and attraction towards the art every time you see it.
Challenges of Mastering Shadow Theater:
Nobody actually is worried about the amount of flexibility that goes in making each shadow theater a success. And that is exactly where the challenge lies for every performer of the art. Some have aced it. Do you recall the last time you cheered up a friend using shadows of your finger to tell a story? Now let us look at one groups excellent performance and their constant achievements all through a talent hunt.
Attraction. This name may mean a hundred things to people around you. But to us, it stands for the dedication of one shadow theater group that rocked everybody’s world from the stages of Britain’s Got Talent. This group from Budapest, right from their first show made us cry.
Their victory however came when they made the ace judge Simon Cowell cry too. Watch the magic here.
To put it in simple words, shadow play is a form of art wherein people or objects are used to create shadows that depict real life people or objects. This team works out very simply in their garage in Budapest that is infested with insects, bugs and moss. But their dreams were high as is evident from their dance routines. Little do we know that they worked day and night to get each piece together to perfection.
