✦ Nang means "leather" ("leather puppet" in this case), and Talung is an abbreviation of Pattalung, a southern city where the shadow play tradition has long been popular. Nang Yai features life-size puppets, while Nang Talung puppets are much smaller.
✦ The performance consists of the puppets, the narrator, the actor, and the musician. The actor and the audience are separated by a white screen during the show.
✦ Nang Talung has been extremely popular for a long time. On the other hand, the art form is slowly disappearing because it is complicated. There is a campaign to preserve the traditions of Nang Talung for future generations.
