Tangshan shadow puppets date back to the late Ming Dynasty and have a history of more than 400 years. Regarded as one of the most influential types of shadow puppets in China, it is listed in the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. Tangshan Shadow Puppet Troupe has been making bold reforms and innovations in the creation of their performances. The troupe broke through the traditional stage scenery and shadow window fixed form, combined traditional shadow play and live performance, using purple light to directly illuminate the reflective shadow puppet, and created the original fluorescent shadow play. The fluorescent play has gorgeous colors and stunning visual effects. The children will not only have the opportunity to watch several fluorescent shadow plays, but they will also see excerpts from the classic tale <Havoc in Heaven>, witnessing how the brave, fearless and clever Monkey King outsmarts various deities. This unique combination of modern and traditional shadow puppetry masterpieces will offer the children a refreshing and novel experience.
