Shadow Puppetry for O&M

Shadow puppetry was used to convey the deeper emotions on stage through non-verbal means. It all started off with a workshop, based on an open call launched in May 2018. Auditions were then held, with Shelly Quick being selected as shadow puppeteer for the Opera, under the direction of Martina Winkel, the co-artistic director and librettist of Orfeo & Majnun.
