Puppetry is a theatrical art form that involves the manipulation of puppets—objects, often resembling humans or animals, brought to life by a performer called a puppeteer. Puppets can be controlled using strings, rods, hands, or mechanical devices, depending on the type, which includes marionettes, hand puppets, shadow puppets, and more. Puppetry is used to tell stories, entertain, educate, or convey cultural traditions, and it can be performed on stage, in films, or on television. It requires skill in movement, voice acting, and storytelling to give the illusion of life and emotion. Puppetry has a rich global history and remains a creative, engaging medium for audiences of all ages.
