Puppet & Its Double
Founded in 1999, The Puppet & Its Double Theatre’s mission is to create challenging and innovative Puppet Arts that touches the heart and mind. Adhering to the creative principle of “everything can be a puppet”, the company creates a new style for contemporary Taiwanese Puppet Arts, as well as an aesthetic imbued with magic and philosophy.
Having presented more than 50 original productions, the Puppet and Its Double remains focused on breaking new ground in original local content and intercultural Puppet Arts exploration. The group has received numerous invitations to perform at international art festivals in Europe, Asia and America. With professional and delicate puppetry skills, the Puppet & Its Double brings forth a limitless imaginary space that humans alone cannot realize. Their shows not only allow children to admire aloud, but also silently contemplate. The playfulness, curiosity and joy of adults are also awakened.
Educations and upgrading skills are utmost important for the company. The Puppet and Its Double Theatre has been unwavering in its efforts to nurture new talents and local content by establishing the Lìzé Puppet Art Colony in 2013, focusing on international puppetry exchange and talent cultivation. It has since become a leading base for puppet arts innovation in Asia.
