From a mountaintop school playing with overhead projectors and classroom scraps, to a professional puppet troupe in Manila, Anino has been producing shadow puppet shows for 20 years.
Nicole Curby recently met members of the Collective at the International Puppet Festival in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta to talk art, evolution and the shadows of history.
