Shadow puppetry
2023
Meet Daidarabotchi, the curious giant who discovers that the wonder and mystery of fantasy are hidden in the heart of the everyday—and in the depth of his own spirit.
Inspired by Misuzu Kaneko’s celebrated poem ‘Wonder’, this unique performance combines the magic of low-technology shadow puppetry with oral storytelling.
Commissioned by the Campbelltown Arts Centre, this shadow puppetry performance for children was featured at the 2023 Fishers' Ghost Festival.
