Do you ever feel like a shadow puppet on the wall of life?

Answer 1

A shadow play is an ancient form of story-telling and entertainment using opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images. It is popular in various cultures. At present, more than 20 countries are known to have shadow show troupes. It is sometimes called "shadow puppetry".
The shadow show in China dates back to at least the Song Dynasty (960–1279), and may date back substantially earlier. The art form was spread across the Asian continent by Mongols in the 13th century to countries of the Middle East, where it took root in various forms.

Puppets made of leather and moved on sticks are used to tell dramatic versions of traditional fairy tales and myths.
The Ombres Chinoises (French for "Chinese shadows") were a popular entertainment in Paris during the 19th century, especially in the famous nightclub district of Montmartre. The tradition in France dates back to at least the mid-18th century when it was brought back by travellers to the Orient. The puppeteer Dominique Séraphin first presented the spectacle in Paris in 1776, and in Versailles in 1781.

The cabaret Chat Noircabaret ("black cat") produced a number of popular Ombres Chinoises shows in the 1880s, using up to 20 assistants and a large, oxy-hydrogen back-lit performance area.

The Ombres evolved into numerous theatrical productions, as well as popular children's toys across Europe
In Indonesia (notably Java and Bali), shadow puppet plays are known as wayang kulit. Stories presented are usually mythical & morality tales. There is an educational moral to the plays which usually portray a battle between good and evil, with good always winning and evil running away (but eventually to return).

The puppets are made primarily of leather and manipulated with sticks. Shadow plays are very popular even today. They are performed during sacred temple ceremonies, at private functions, and for the public in the villages. A performance can last all night long, sometimes up to six hours or until dawn.

Shadow theatre in Thailand is called Nang Yai; in the south there is a tradition called Nang Ta Lung
The Turkish tradition of shadow play, called Karagöz, seems to hail from ancient Egypt.
