The 2010 Chuncheon Puppet Festival is held at major theaters in Chuncheon City from August 9th to 15th. During the festival period, a wide range of puppet shows will be presented by performers from home and abroad.
Marking its 22nd anniversary this year, the festival will feature 180 puppet plays and a wide range of side events by 50 performance teams, including professional puppeteers from Germany, France, Belgium, Japan and Russia. This year, a number of special guests will be taking the stage: The Fifth Wheel from Germany performing “Cabaret On Strings” (a traditional European musical marionette comedy); Kotofei from Russia performing “Nonsense” (an animal puppet show based on a children’s poem); and Butterflies & Company from Belgium performing “Oetsie Poetsie” (a show where two performers create a variety of sounds and rhythms using everyday items such as brooms, mops and vacuum cleaners).
A range of experience events will be held during the festival period as well. Barbara Scheel, a German psychiatrist, will present a therapy session using puppets titled ‘Puppet Therapy: Communicate to Open Your Mind.’ Yu Seong-Gyun from ‘Inhyeongin’, a puppet performers association in Korea, will be giving a lecture on puppet performance titled ‘Puppet Performance, the Key to communication and understanding’. A ticket for special performances and shows by overseas teams costs 10,000won; general tickets cost 7,000won. Those booking in advance may be rendered eligible to receive a 20% discount.
