The Other World-Puppet Theatre in China  
 

There is no Pulcinella in the Chinese puppet theatre, but there is a Monkey King. It does not contain the social criticism of many modern Western puppet theatres, but reflects the life and traditions of every day life in China, especially in rural areas. This special and interactive exhibition does not only present a great variety of puppets and genres, but also reveals a world of mystery and spectacular tableaus.

About Europalia Arts Festival
