Reverse Shadow Theatre is an installation created with the Animata real-time animation editor.
Wayang Kulit is the indonesian shadow puppet theater, in which finely carved and painted leather puppets move behind a screen making the audiance see their shadows only. In our installation the situation is reversed. The role of the elaborate puppets is emphasized, while the visitor is a mere shadow trying to control the puppets by her movements.

Balinese Shadow Puppet + Virtual Interactive Puppet + Live Drawing and Storytelling)
Grace Street Theater , November 8 2007, Thursday 7 pm - Richmond VA USA
Puppeteer: I Gusti Putu Sudarta
Virtual Puppets and Interactive System: Semi Ryu and Stefano Faralli
Music: Andrew McGraw
Background flame : Christopher Romero
"Experimental Virtual Wayang" is a contemporary translation of the traditional Balinese (Indonesia) shadow puppet performance ("wayang kulit"), featuring virtual interactive puppets and a realtime background drawing system, bringing the sprit of live improvisation into storytelling.
This project explores two ideas of shadow; traditional shadows casted by wayang puppets, and digital shadows, projected images of virtual puppets projected one same screen. The shadow master will be able to simultaneously manipulate traditional puppets as well as virtual puppets which have been fitted with infrared units which will be monitored by a motion and position detection system. This system then communicates with a three-dimensional computer graphics system which will project virtual puppets onto the same screen used to display the traditional wayang puppets. He will be able to change the look of the virtual puppet and to control its movements based upon his own voice. This project opens the interactive system to public, inviting people to draw background images, interacting with puppeteer and musician, during the performance.
