What is the World Puppetry Day?
Launched in 2003 by UNIMA, the World Puppetry Day is both a real tool for the promotion of puppetry arts and a project allowing to federate the puppet actors of the same territory.
This world day seeks to promote the puppet arts by defending, among other objectives:
- the maintenance and the safeguard of the traditions and, in parallel, the renewal of the art of puppetry
- the use of puppetry as a means of ethical and aesthetic education
The World Puppet Day is now celebrated all over the world through its National Centers and their members.
This Day is the occasion to collectively and as widely as possible carry the diversity of puppetry arts today!
Please spread the news far and wide that on World Puppetry Day, there will be a performance of wayang kulit purwa in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia, by internationally renowned Ki Purbo Asmoro. Ki Purbo Asmoro has conducted four tours to the USA (2006, 2009, 2012, 2013) two to the UK (1990 and 2007), two to France (2009 and 2013), and has performed in Singapore (2006), India (2009), Greece (2001), Thailand (2005), Austria (1994), Japan (2008), and Bolivia (2008).
Together with Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson, he is co-author of the 7-volume Wayang Educational Package of books and audio-visual materials. This is a university-level comparative study of classical wayang, contemporary (“garapan”) style and condensed (“padat”) wayang.
The performance on 21 March from Solo Central Java, will feature simultaneous translation into English and will be broadcast on many YouTube channels including UNIMAs own and “Purbo Asmoro Official” (which is where the translation will be).
