Moved to Life
Moved to Life: Tradition and Reinvention in Asian Puppet Theatre is an international performing arts symposium and puppetry spectacular held in Penang this November. For the first time, Teochew iron-rod puppeteers from China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia gather on one stage, joined by artists, scholars and cultural practitioners from the US, Japan, India, Taiwan and beyond. Through performances, dialogues, workshops, a documentary screening and more, the symposium explores how traditional puppetry is passed on and remade for our time.
《心生偶动：从亚洲偶戏的传统操演到当代创生》是今年11月于槟城举行的国际表演艺术论坛暨大汇演。中国、香港、新加坡及马来西亚四地的潮州铁枝木偶艺师首度同台，并邀来美国、日本、印度、台湾等地的艺师、学者与文化工作者参与。论坛通过展演、对话、工作坊与纪录片放映等，探讨传统偶戏如何传承，并在当代重新创生。
