Shadow Puppetry, an ancient form of storytelling, is part of the rich theatrical tradition of many Southeast Asian countries. Colonizers and travelers from France encountered this art form in the eighteenth century and brought it back to Europe with Ombres chinoises (literally “Chinese shadows,” though the French mainly imitated Indonesian, Thai, and Burmese styles). These Ombres chinoises were particularly popular in England and France until the end of the nineteenth century.
French artist Caroline Borderies revives this cross-cultural form, interpreting classical Asian tales with a French flair. In this program, Borderies reveals what goes on behind the production, collaborating with puppeteer Suzanne Borderies, pianist Mirna Lekic and narrator David McCorkle. She also shows an excerpt of her highly praised production “Xieng Mieng: A Trickster from Southeast Asia”, based on folk stories about a popular character from Laos and northern Thailand.
