Papermoon Puppet Theatre
(Yogyakarta, Indonesia)
In a country with world-renowned puppetry traditions, the young, expert artists of Papermoon are extending the form with their mixed-media productions, and creating works that imaginatively explore identity, society and Indonesia’s recent past.
On tour for Center Stage: Mwathirika, set in 1965, the infamous Year of Living Dangerously, when thousands of Indonesians were jailed and murdered. A history of the lost, and the lost history of a nation. A non-verbal, puppet-theater experience in 60 minutes.
Puppetry workshops for all ages available.
| Available | August–September 2012 |
| Travelers | Nine (seven performers, one production, one company manager) |
| Venue | Intimate, well-equipped proscenium stage (250-300 seats maximum) |
