Kaohsiung - Love River Puppet Cultural Festival

Taiwanese puppet art encompasses enriched performance elements such as literature, philosophy, story-telling, sculpture, embroidery, painting, music, and drama. It can be said to be the merge of eight major masteries. To present the whole picture of the hundred-year-old puppet art in Taiwan in front of the city citizens again, all kinds of performances that can demonstrate the unique aesthetics of the puppet art will be available to not only substantially showcase the beauty of static craftsmanship and dynamic performance but also enable all participating people to see, hear, and feel the puppet art throughout the event so that they can re-discover the puppet art of “telling contemporary news by the word of mouth and manipulating millions of solders with both hands” and enjoy a wonderful puppet happy hour that is suitable to all age groups!
