Modern Puppet Experience Workshop
A paper cup, an old photo, a roll of plastic bag... Have you ever thought that these common objects can also create characters and contain stories?
Objects themselves have power. Compared to the traditional puppets we are familiar with, there are more possibilities on the stage of modern puppetry, which is also filled with imagination and dramatic effects.
March 21st has been designated as “World Puppetry Day,” aiming to maintain and protect traditional puppetry arts while also promoting their development and innovation. On this day, let us unleash the imagination and get closer to the world of modern puppetry.
