Shadow play – Shadow theater station
05.06.,16.00 Uhr | Festival Centre Playground 09.06.,13.00 Uhr | Festival Centre PlaygroundShadow theater is much older than cinema itself, but it works with the same means: Light, darkness and a projection screen.
In our shadow play station, participants can try out the technique of shadow theater. They can experiment with their own shadows on several screens, enhanced by costumes or masks made of cardboard, fabric and tracing paper.
An interpreter for German sign language will accompany the shadow theater and thus also enable children with hearing impairments to participate without barriers.
Registration is not required. Just drop by.
