Question

Along with hats, Felicien Trewey used this art form to mimic celebrities as part of his internationally touring performance. A form of animation influenced by papercutting and this art form was pioneered by Lotte Reiniger, who used it in her Adventures of Prince Achmed. Clown-servant characters appearing in one type of this art form include the androgynous Semar. Popular in coffeehouses, Karagöz and (15[1])Hacivat (“hah-jee-VAHT”) are stock characters in a Turkish type of this art form. At the beginning and end of performances of this art form, a triangular gunungan (15[1])is manipulated by a (*) dalang. Wayang (10[1])is an (10[1])Indonesian variant (-5[1])of this art form that employs puppets. (10[1])Performers can contort their hands to create examples of these phenomena on screens. For 10 points, those plays use what dark regions created by objects blocking light? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: shadows [accept shadowgraphy; accept shadow paintings; accept shadow play or shadow puppetry; accept silhouettes; prompt on puppets by asking “what phenomena do the puppets create?”; reject “outlines”] (Reiniger started papercutting and staging home shadow theater productions of Shakespeare early in life.)
