The atmosphere of the scene

As the mini stage was successfully set up, the lights turned on and the shadow puppets slowly appeared on the curtain. Under the skillful hands of the performers, the gestures and movements of the shadow puppet characters are lifelike and lifelike. This film "Mulan and War" combines narration with a cappella singing in the form of light music. It is a unique blend of classical shadow puppet art, modern narration language, and re-written pop music.

Wonderful performance

Compared with the previous plays performed by the Shadow Puppet Club, "Mulan and the War" is different from the pathos of "Butterfly Lovers" and the sadness of "The Mulberry Picking Girl", bringing us a brand new experience. This drama reproduces for us the whole process of Mulan joining the army on behalf of her father: from being ostracized in the army, to becoming sworn brothers, and finally being appreciated by the emperor and returning home in glory. It gives a new interpretation to the image of the heroine Mulan: in her deep love for her father, aversion to war, and yearning for peace, Mulan's character appears more full.

In the final interactive session of the event, the audience was also invited to the stage to try out shadow puppet performances. Although there were guidance and help from students from the shadow puppet club, the novices were still a little confused when trying out the "climbing the bamboo pole" scene: either Mulan flew into the sky or the general couldn't turn around. The audience laughed continuously. Students in the shadow puppet club explained that the position of the shadow puppets and the movements of the shadow puppets are very particular and cannot be controlled as easily as imagined. Shadow puppet characters cannot change their facial expressions, so when a person speaks, they must move their hands and head together and face the person they are speaking to. Many of the students present were performing shadow puppets for the first time, or even being exposed to the art of shadow puppets for the first time. This performance gave them a great insight.

It is reported that the Shadow Puppet Club will launch a new drama in mid-May, and the news network will continue to pay attention to this.
