Htwe Oo Myanmar
Puppet theatre is one of the oldest art forms in Myanmar, having already entertained its ancient kings. The group Htwe Oo Myanmar tries to honour this century-old tradition in their work, sticking to long-established Burmese tales, characters, techniques and aesthetics. A unique approach is their strict gender-based division of the puppeteers, allowing male puppet characters to be guided only by male puppeteers and vice-versa, striving for utmost authenticity in the expressions of the puppets.
