A Sea of Puppet: Live Taiwan Puppet Theater & Music Performance by Taiyuan Puppet Theater Company

A Sea of Puppets is a traditional Taiwanese glove puppet show performed on a beautifully carved wooden stage. With amazing skill the puppeteers bring the exquisite puppets with embroidered costumes to life. They perform not only delicate gestures, but also exciting fighting scenes and acrobatics. The story is a romantic tale where a young man saves a girl from the hands of a villain (clown character). In the show we will see all the characters of traditional Taiwanese puppet theatre: the young lady, the scholar, but also the clowns and the villains and even an old man smoking a real pipe. The show was performed in over 30 countries. In this fascinating performance we will see a glimpse of one of the most beautiful theatre performances in the world and the sheer virtuosity of the Taiwanese puppet performance accompanied by traditional music performed live! The show is without words and suitable for an audience of all ages.
