Wuzhen, China: Chinese Shadow Puppet Theater

Author's Note:
Blog article on the experience
At Wuzhen, China, (a small "water town" close to Shanghai), old theater musicians and one puppeteer woman working for children.
I had the opportunity of experiencing the same play both from the spectator seats and from back stage (you can also see the video in youtube).
