Puppetry Arts

Puppetry Arts is a creative performance discipline that uses puppets—objects manipulated by performers—to tell stories, express ideas, and evoke emotions. It combines craftsmanship, storytelling, and theatrical techniques to bring inanimate figures to life on stage or in media. Puppetry can range from simple hand-held figures to elaborate marionettes and life-sized puppets, often reflecting cultural traditions, humor, or social themes. This art form engages audiences through visual spectacle, character portrayal, and imaginative storytelling, promoting cultural exchange and artistic expression across diverse communities and contexts.
