Nang Talung: Small Shadow Puppet Theater
Description Nang Talung is a traditional style of shadow puppetry from the southern region of Thailand. Records note that Nang Talung originated from Phatthalung, the birthplace of puppet theater, as the people of Phatthalung embraced influences from Indian puppet theater and created new forms. In the past, Nang Talung was an essential part of funerals, but today it is mainly staged as an outdoor performance, although it is gradually diminishing in popularity due to the development of modern media. In response, Nang Talung troupes are attempting various innovations such as adding Western instruments to their performances.
