A small video clip of the marionette performance by Feng Huang Marionette Theatre at Bukit Merah View at the Thanksgiving celebration of Xuan Jiang Dian.
The title of this performance is Xiao Xiang Ye Yu 潇湘夜雨.
Dedication to Marionette theatre in Singapore and the region
Marionette theatre is both a combination of performance and ritual. It has been dwindling in numbers at present and even though there may be new troupes emerging, not many follow the traditional way of doing things, especially on the part of conducting rituals. Our task is to retain the uniqueness and characteristics of marionette theatre (and puppet theatre), especially in the local context.
