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.
