Mohali 17th December:- Doon International School sector-69 Organized Puppet Show for the Kindergarten Wing in the school auditorium. Chinku, the puppet was the star attraction of the show. Stories based on moral values were told to the students. All the kids were spell bound to see the characters indulge in the whirling dervish dance which is impeccably performed, considering that the strings used to manipulate the puppets can easily get tangled. To see these multiple mediums of storytelling, poetry, music and string puppetry come together tiny tots were surreal. Many classic and contemporary love songs were also used to convey the passion and love for the country. Props were also used in the show to make it more interesting for the students.
While speaking at the moment Director C.S.Mann Said that string puppetry with its colourful backdrops and vibrant costumes is the perfect medium to narrate tales to tiny tots .According to him puppetry is originated in as early as 2000 BC Egypt, practised in Ancient Greece where it was also known as marionettes and became a rage in Rajashtan in India, where it was known as the kathputli. The Show took us centuries back and brought tiny tots closed to tales ,culture and tradition of Punjab.
