Nations in Southeast Asia have gone through a period of rapid
change within the last century as they have grappled with
independence, modernization, and changing political landscapes.
Governments and citizens strive to balance progress with the need
to articulate identities that resonate with the pre-colonial past
and look towards the future. Puppets and Cities: Articulating
Identities in Southeast Asia addresses how puppetry complements and
combines with urban spaces to articulate present and future
cultural and national identities. Puppetry in Southeast Asia is one
of the oldest and most dynamic genres of performance. Bangkok,
Jakarta, Phnom Penh, and other dynamic cities are expanding and
rapidly changing. Performance brings people together, offers
opportunities for economic growth, and bridges public and private
spheres. Whether it is a traditional shadow performance borrowing
from Star Wars or giant puppets parading down the street-this book
examines puppets as objects and in performance to make culture come
alive. Based on several years of field research-watching
performances, working with artists, and interviewing key
stakeholders in Southeast Asian cultural production-the book offers
a series of rich case studies of puppet performance from various
locations, including: theatre in suburban Bangkok; puppets in
museums in Jakarta, Indonesia; puppet companies from Laos PDR, the
National Puppet Theatre of Vietnam, and the Giant Puppet Project in
Siem Reap, Cambodia; new global puppetry networks through social
media; and how puppeteers came together from around the region to
create a performance celebrating ASEAN identity.
