The Confucius Institute for Scotland in the University of Edinburgh, in association with SCEN, is delighted to present this award winning show from Karin Schäfer of Figuren Theatre blending puppetry, video and animation. The hour long show tells the tale of the fantastic journeys of the famous Chinese explorer, Zheng He, who with his Chinese fleet of more than 300 enormous “dragon ships”
sailed via Indonesia,
India and the Arabian coast to Africa - almost 100 years before Christopher Columbus set off to America.
