Dhaatu Puppet Theater, Puppet theater in Bengaluru, India
The theater features wooden puppets with cloth coverings and intricate connections, manipulated through strings to present traditional Indian narratives and stories.
Established in 2004, Dhaatu Puppet Theater developed a collection of fifteen plays after extensive research into puppet construction and performance techniques.
Performances at Dhaatu include adaptations from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and works by classical poets Bhasa and Kalidasa using Moodalapaya Yakshagana style.
The theater offers regular shows, workshops, and events throughout the year, with schedules available through their website and local cultural calendars.
Each puppet receives special treatment with wood powder and tamarind coating to create a glossy finish before artists apply detailed acrylic paintings.
