Description :Shadow theatre is thus a two-dimensional art form-a precursor of both film and television. It also falls into the category of marionette theatre, where cut-out figures or dolls are manipulated with the aid of strings or rods or both. Shadow theatre may be conceived as a special form of drama requiring a semi-transparent screen, a light source, and cut-out figures placed between these. The spectators on the other side of the screen see shadows of the figures only, and neither the manipulator nor his shadow.
