Synopsis

Life, death and legacy: From the internationally acclaimed creators of 2022’s Stream of Memory comes PUNO: Sewing Memories, which tells the story of single father Puno and his daughter, Tala.

Beloved worldwide for their deep emotional core and innovative puppetry, Papermoon Puppet Theatre invite you to explore the stories woven into the fabric of our lives. This story follows Puno, a single dad and a tailor, who tries to sew threads of memories with his daughter, Tala. He tries to provide for his daughter’s needs, building her self-confidence and abilities so that Tala can one day continue her journey on her own.

PUNO: Sewing Memories bears all the hallmarks of a Papermoon production, one that audience around the world have come to love. This non-verbal play uses the universal language of puppetry and movement to tell the story, evoking emotion through stunning visual design and an original musical score. Several puppetry techniques are incorporated in the show—mask theatre and movements inspired by Japanese kuruma ningyo and a bunraku form of manipulation—each one carefully selected to move the story forward.

Stitching the threads and fabric of their work, Papermoon asks us to consider the different ways that death shapes us, and to recognise the significance of the lives of our loved ones beyond the moment of their passing.
