3. Do not construct the theater over a path or the place where water flows, because it is
believed that this area is for the devil or ghosts at night time
4. Do not handle the shadow puppets on the first holy ceremony of a wedding celebration. If
you do it, it will bring bad luck or evil things forever.
5. Do not perform the shadow puppet show on the same day of a cremation (in case the show
is on the funeral grounds). If you do that your life will be unsuccessful, in bad luck and you will have to stop
the show forever.
6. Do not perform the shadow puppet show on the 14 and 15 of the month. (Buddhist holy
days) or on the new full moon day
7. For best fortune for the theater of the shadow puppet show the front of the stage, must be
turned towards the east or the south. This belief involves the condition of the weather too. It should take
place during the season free from farming. When there is no rain and the wind blows from the North.
And towards the east, because the sound is carried by the wind so the audience in the front of
the stage or theater will be able to hear the play clearly. Especially for the shadow puppet show competitions,
the stage located towards the North is more advantageous than the stage towards the south because the wind
will hinder the sound and no one will hear the puppet show because it is windy
There were many superstitions regarding shadow puppet troupes in the past. The beliefs were
about religion or astrology. The beliefs of the people were regarding moral, social and daily life.
