Event Description

Bunraku puppetry, is originally a form of traditional Japanese puppetry, which is known for its excellence in craftsmanship and manipulation techniques, bringing puppets to life directly with hand movements, creating a sense of realism on stage. What sets it apart is the ability to depict emotions and movements through different puppetry styles. In this performance, three individuals manipulate a single puppet. The puppets in this play, born from the influence of Bunraku artistry, are crafted to fit the narrative and are presented in a contemporary style, deviating from some traditional Japanese elements. Eight-year-old Alex, the son of a self-appointed Nazi officer, and Ethan, a Jewish boy of the same age, and Timbo, a baby elephant, are separated by a barbed wire fence in a concentration camp in Poland. The play revolves around a man who forgets the true nature of his family and enters into a deep friendship, resulting in gross injustice to them.The play is an inspired expansion of many fictional and real stories surrounding World War Il, and attempts to portray the massacre of lives by the Nazi regime in Germany from the perspective of the minds of two innocent boys.
