The strings of life and puppetry
Designed to resemble humans, animals or mythological characters, puppets add colour and life to storytelling. The pairing of puppetry and storytelling is so strong that the association dates back to the pre-Vedic period. “String puppets find mention in the Bhagavatha Purana and the Mahabharata. Shadow puppets were used in Sanskrit theatre. The theatrical form ‘Dasharupakas’ employs a style of puppetry for each form,’’ says master puppeteer Anupama Hoskere from Bengaluru.
