Myanmar Puppet Theatre

"Discover the Enchanting World of Burmese Puppetry at Htwe Oo Myanmar Puppet Theatre Burmese puppetry, a truly unique and ancient art form, blossomed during the reign of King Hsinbhyushin (1763–1776). Influenced by Indian and Thai traditions, this captivating performance art is a distinct cultural treasure that reflects Myanmar's rich heritage. Controlled by 11 to 19 intricate wires, the finely crafted puppets come to life in mesmerizing shows staged by a 28-character troop. While not all puppets appear on stage simultaneously, the need for numerous performers makes full-scale productions a rarity in Myanmar today. A trip to the Htwe Oo Myanmar Puppet Theatre is a must for anyone looking to explore Myanmar's cultural heritage. It's not just a performance; it’s an unforgettable journey into the soul of a nation. Don’t miss the chance to witness this enchanting art form and support the revival of Burmese puppetry."
