We visited a shadow puppet workshop where they made the traditional "Wayang" puppet figures. It is very similar to the Greek "Karagkiozis" theatre, where the puppets are put behind a thin white piece of cloth in front of a light. From what we were told, the illuminated side is for the eyes of the emperor, so he can admire the delicate and detailed artwork, whereas the shadow side is for the people.
