The Kite
A child runs onto the screen trailing a carved kite; it climbs over the river with its bow-tie tail swinging while the child plants their feet and pulls, and a cut-letter plaque rises.

Shadow Puppetry
Chinese shadow theatre: carved, dyed-hide puppets pressed against a white cotton screen and lit from behind by flickering oil lamps. Colour glows by transmitted light, the carved holes shine brightest and overlaps go darker; jointed figures tremble on their rods, and the number of lamps sets the light. For folk tales, festivals, fables and gentle stories.
