This milestone edition embraces the theme\u202f”Beyond Borders and Strings”, inviting audiences to discover how puppetry transcends language, culture and borders through the universal power of storytelling.<\/p>\nThis year\u2019s\u202fNo Strings Attached International Puppetry Festival<\/strong>, audiences can experience a remarkable line-up of internationally acclaimed puppeteers from\u202fKorea, Iran, Indonesia and Thailand, each presenting a distinctive puppetry tradition and artistic language rarely seen in Singapore.

From Fear to Hope by Animawayang Community (Indonesia)<\/a> (click to watch teaser) <\/strong><\/p>\nIn a once-peaceful forest, humans arrive and begin cutting down trees\u2014sparking a brave uprising among the animals. Their victory seems certain\u2026 until humans return, capturing the creatures and leading them onto a giant ark. When a great flood sweeps across the land, the animals realize the truth: humans are not their enemies, but their rescuers from extinction. As the storm finally clears, a brilliant rainbow stretches across the sky\u2014a sign of a brand-new promise: humans and nature will live in harmony and protect the Earth together.<\/p>\n
Jack the Salesman by Pineapple Studio (Thailand)<\/a> (click to watch teaser) <\/strong><\/p>\n“Jack the Salesman” is a classic folktale from India, telling the story of a caps seller and a mischievous gang of monkeys.<\/p>\n
\u200bPineapple Studio has reimagined this tale as a “Shadow Play”, opening up a portal of imagination into a whole new dimension of perception.<\/p>\n
Beside You by Odongnamoo Happening (Korea)<\/a> (click to watch teaser)<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen a Gayageum string breaks, must the musician stop playing? Beside You is a solo puppet performance inspired by a personal experience of hurt and healing. Through the Gayageum, puppetry and movement, the performer explores memories, pain and the courage to move forward. \u201cHeart\u201d seeks revenge against \u201cHurt\u201d, but encounters a broken tree supported by the surrounding trees and discovers strength through connection. The Gayageum transforms on stage, becoming a space where music, puppetry and imagination meet. The strings become metaphors for tradition, memory and human connection, revealing a story beyond expectation and imagination.<\/p>\n
