Puppet Theatre - Play of Life

What does puppet theatre actually mean? Where does it begin, and where does it end?
The art of puppet theatre springs from the human desire to breathe life into objects.

Let yourself be surprised, moved, and inspired – by the magic that unfolds when something seemingly lifeless suddenly gains a soul.
