About the Chinese shadow puppetry
Shadow play, also known as shadow puppetry, is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment which uses flat articulated cut-out figures (shadow puppets) which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen or scrim.
This is a new art performance on the Cambridge stage, directed by Mr. Yu, Ningyuan and performed by Cambridge residents. The history of shadow puppet performances during the Mid-Autumn Festival can be traced back to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who made shadow puppets in memory of his beloved concubine. It represents that when the energy of summer is fading, we work with the inner light to defeat shadows and death, and present the value and meaning of life. . The story of “Chang’e Flying to the Moon” is told every Mid-Autumn Festival because there is a desire in each of us for Chang’e to fly to the full moon and meet her other half Hou Yi on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunions and perfect peace shared across the world.

关于皮影戏
这是剑桥舞台上的一个新的艺术表演，由林源老师执导，剑桥居民表演。中秋节演皮影的历史可以追溯到汉武帝为纪念爱妃而作皮影，它代表着当夏日的能量在渐弱中，我们与内在之光工作，战胜阴影和死亡，呈现生的价值和意义。《嫦娥奔月》的故事之所以在每年中秋被讲述，是因为我们每个人的心中都有一个渴望圆满的嫦娥要在中秋这一天，飞到圆月中，见到她的另一半后羿。中秋之夜，是家庭团圆，天涯共享完满和平的日子。
