Special School Performances
As in previous years, there is one puppet show that has been selected for special school performances. This year we are delighted to offer Carnival of Taiwanese Hand Puppetry performed by Happy Puppetry, a multi-generational family company of Taiwanese puppeteers. With their culturally unique puppet form, the Ko family displays an astonishing skill and speed of performance. The stage comes alive with finely embroidered costumes, exquisite headdresses, and delicately carved faces of puppets which stand nearly a foot high. Great epics, hilarious clowning, stunning acrobatic and martial arts, are all part of the repertoire of these extraordinary wooden actors. This show will delight and intrigue all ages from grades 1-12 and is recommended for multicultural studies, art, drama, and history classes and any students studying Asian cultures, circus or martial arts.
