Shadow puppetry sounds rather exotic.
Actually, it is, but only when you consider its ancient Chinese and Indian origins, its mystical ties to Eastern religions, and its present use in faraway lands such as Indochina and Turkey. When modified and modernized, shadow puppetry becomes not only enormously practical but also the most vivid and flexible of puppet forms, not to mention the simplest and least expensive.
