Tue 22 Oct @ 10am & 12:30pm Backstage Theatre - Longford 🎭

Puppet Play - "The Letter"
Directed by Gea Gojak

For 3rd – 6th classes.

"The world is ravaged by the War… a Boy finds refuge in a shelter. He is alone, frightened, cut off from any contact with anyone in the outside world. Or is he…? A surprise awaits him in that seemingly hostile and desolate place: an unexpected interlocutor with whom the Boy experiences dramatic ebbs and flows, before resistance turns into acceptance, misgivings into trust, estrangement into friendship."

The Letter is a puppetry play for young audiences (10+), which explores the theme of war and its impact on children

🌍✨ – English subtitles included!

At the UNIMA PC during the FLUM Festival in Mostar, we had the honor of hosting Mr. Siyavash Sattari, President of UNIMA Mobarak – Iran.

He presented a fascinating workshop on traditional Iranian string puppetry techniques, showcasing his dedication to preserving this art form.

His collaboration with the Siyavash Museum has led to over 100 self-funded workshops for underprivileged children across Iran, covering 20,000 kilometers! Sattari’s work is a testament to the universal power of puppetry to inspire, educate, and unite communities around the world.

We are grateful for his participation and for the treasures of Iranian puppetry that he has shared with us.

Ten days ago, we returned from beautiful Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the closing ceremony of the FLUM Festival and UNIMA PC showcased - “𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬,” a community workshop led by the artists from the Croatian theater company Kazališna družina Susret.

This children's workshop was part of the FLUM Festival in Mostar and the UNIMA PC 2024 events at Pozorište lutaka u Mostaru. It used puppetry to foster solidarity and extend a hand of friendship to our Brazilian colleagues, who have faced devastating consequences from natural disasters in Rio Grande do Sul this year.
