Thailand Thailand Thailand Thai puppetry includes both the two-dimensional puppets which are presented in shadow play both in front of and behind a brightly lit muslin screen, known by the genre name of shadow puppets, and three-dimensional figure puppets in stage settings. The shadow play figures are collectively known as nang while the figure puppets are known as hun . Shadow puppetry is the older art form. There are two groups: Nang Yai (large shadow puppets) and Nang Talung (jointed shadow puppets). The nang yai is considered a classical art form, an originator of the khon classical masked dance. The puppet figure is quite large, sometimes standing 2 meters tall. It is made of leather, pierced with a figurative and decorative pattern to depict a particular scene in the story. Light bamboo rods are attached to the figure so that the puppeteer can hold it aloft in front of or behind a screen. The puppeteer actually dances with the puppet to musical accompaniment. The story is told with a singing and recitative voice and ever changing puppet figures. The flickering light from a live bonfire, using smoke-free dried coconut shells as fuel, helps to bring the puppet to life.
