The Art of Traditional Puppet Theaters

Puppetry is one of the oldest forms of theatrical storytelling, dating back thousands of years across ancient civilizations. Miniature wooden theaters allowed puppeteers to perform stories using string marionettes, hand puppets, or rod puppets. Stage curtains were traditionally made from thick velvet to hide stagehands and create dramatic scene changes during performances.
