Stage set for puppets

Did you know that leather shadow puppets, which have been used in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh for centuries now, are also present in other Asian countries such as Indonesia or Cambodia? Or that similar puppetry techniques are used in different countries with different narratives? These are some of the insights that puppet theatre educator Anurupa Roy will share at a talk curated by CSMVS this Saturday. “We will explore the history of puppet theatre and different traditions across the country, which vary in terms of the puppets’ size and how they are manipulated,” shared Joyoti Roy, head-marketing at CSMVS. Attend the talk on YouTube @CSMVSMumbai.
