ARTISTS

DUNDU

A puppet theater company based in Stuttgart, Germany whose name is the title of their performance. The puppets, which come in various sizes and shapes, ranging from a five-meter-tall giant puppet to a one-meter-tall “little puppet,” move freely and have a diverse repertoire, from outdoors festivals to indoor stages. In particular, the magical outdoor performances of puppets illuminated with LED lights are popular worldwide. The movements, which are made by five people in each puppet, are said to be influenced by the Japanese puppet art of Bunraku. They possess an indescribable beauty.
