Papermoon Puppet Theatre

Puno, Sewing Memories

Please be advised that this program may contain thematic elements unsuitable for children ages 12 and under.

How do we experience loss? How can we hold and appreciate what has been left to us? Papermoon Puppet Theatre Company’s Puno, Sewing Memories is a story of Tala, a young girl who is coping with her father’s passing and learning about life and death.

Papermoon Puppet Theatre believes that anything can come alive: every creature, every object, and every single thing in the world holds life somewhere inside of it. Called “a staple of the global arts festival circuit” by The New York Times, Papermoon Puppet Theatre tells stories ranging from myth to the birth of modern Indonesia with astonishing modernist puppets.

Founded in April 2006 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia by Co-Artistic Director Maria Tri Sulistyani, Papermoon Puppet Theatre has created and toured internationally with over 30 puppet performances and visual art installations and exhibitions.

“Papermoon Puppet Theatre has become a staple of the global arts festival circuit, with enigmatic, modernist puppets that tell stories from myth to the birth of modern Indonesia.

Words are few for these puppets with moon-shaped faces who, like mimes, express everything in evocative, poignant gestures.”
