Virtual Scenography as Process: Rethinking Pi-Ying-Xi beyond the Shadow Screen

Li, Yijie (2026) Virtual Scenography as Process: Rethinking Pi-Ying-Xi beyond the Shadow Screen. In: TaPRA Conference 2026, 2-4 September 2026, Queen Mary University of London.

Type of Research: Conference, Symposium or Workshop Item
Creators: Li, Yijie
Description:

This paper examines virtual scenography as a performative process through the reconfiguration of Chinese shadow puppetry. Rather than treating the shadow screen as the defining condition of Pi-Ying-Xi, it considers how scenography reorganises relationships between bodies, puppets, participants and digital environments in virtual and mixed reality.

Keywords/subjects not otherwise listed: Scenography, Performance Design, Chinese shadow puppetry, MR, VR, motion capture
