"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"
