Puppet Folk Arts Lab
2025
INTRODUCTION
Puppetry is one of the oldest art forms in India, with a 3000 year old history and twenty-three living forms in existence currently, practiced by generational puppeteers across India. Modern puppetry is however a few decades old in India where the practice has been carried by a few individuals and companies.
Serendipity Arts launched Puppet Folk Arts Lab to mentor and facilitate new work by traditional puppeteers from across India. Contemporary versions of traditional forms of puppetry will be performed at the festival.
The performances are commissioned by Serendipity Arts for Serendipity Arts Festival 2025.
