Shadow play, also known as shadow puppetry,
is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment
which uses flat articulated cut-out figures
(shadow puppets) which are held between a source
of light and a translucent screen or scrim.
The cut-out shapes of the puppets sometimes
include translucent color or other types of detailing.
Various effects can be achieved by moving both the
puppets and the light source. A talented puppeteer
can make the figures appear to walk, dance, fight,
nod and laugh.

There are four different types of performances in
shadow play: the actors using their bodies as
shadows, puppets where the actors hold them as
shadows in the daytime, spatial viewing, and
viewing the shadows from both sides of the screen.

Shadow play is popular in various cultures, among
both children and adults in many countries
around the world. More than 20 countries are
known to have shadow show troupes.

I started the project “Fire planet NIBIRU” in 2023. It is based on Zecharia Sitchin’s theory of paleo and the alien origin of man.
Sitchin credited the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, who he said were a race of intelligent aliens from a planet he called Nibiru. In his books, Sitchin claims that ancient Sumerian texts describe a hypothetical planet Nibiru, which occupies a very elongated elliptical orbit and orbits the Sun every 3,600 years.

He (Mardu) arranges camps for the great gods.
He made stars-planets, likenesses of gods.
He divided the year and drew a picture:
He arranged the twelve sidereal
months into three (of the zodiac).
When he drew a picture of the
days of the year in the sky,
He secured the station of NIBIRU,
the center of light will indicate to all the stars.
No one would make a mistake,
no one would become careless!
On the side of NIBIRU he made
camps for Enlil and Aya.
With the conversation of heavenly
parties the gates opened,
He installed shutters on the right and left.
He placed the zenith in the womb of Tiamat.
Gave radiance to the Moon,
the guardian of the night!
Taught him the creation of the
day - to recognize the day!
With the help of Ne-beru he (Marduk)
holds the crossing of the heavens and
the underworld,
They do not cross either above or below,
and they are waiting for him.
NIBIRU is his star, set by
him to sparkle in the sky,
Let him stand on the heavenly
ladder so that they can see him.
Yes, he is the one who continuously
crosses the Sea (Tiamat, sky, Milky Way)
without rest,
Let his name be NIBIRU,
who holds its middle,
Let him record the paths of the
heavenly stars,
Let him feed all the gods like sheep,
Let him bind Tiamat and keep
her life in mortal danger...
