Make a shadow theatre out of a shoe box!
Conceived as part of “Night Mode,” Arash Nassiri’s solo exhibition, this workshop allows children to discover the art of puppetry, a medium that is an integral part of the film A Bug’s Life (2026) featured in the exhibition.
After a quick tour of the exhibition, the children watch a shadow puppet show, after which they are invited backstage for an introduction to the principles of lighting and projected silhouettes. The children are then divided into small groups to imagine stories they would like to tell. Participants create the characters and sets for the show, and finally present their play to the rest of the group (and to their parents). They go home with a mini shadow theater to create their own shows at home.
A workshop created by puppeteer Soledad Zárate, who worked closely with the artist on the film A Bug’s Life.
