Danish puppet theatre in Pakistan

The little angels were performing a very fine dance for us.

My memory card cheated me, so I do not have any pics from that day. Fortunately my good friend Abdul Majid has send me a big load, so I can tell about our performance at Faisalabad Arts Council. Abdul is the photographer of the Arts Council.

Here is one of Annes two puppets, the main figures of the workshop.

Anne was teaching a few of the kids. They were very interested.

'Oh, this is exiting! I would like to try much more.'

'We are good friends.'

Anne with new friends.

And then we were interviewed by Radio Pakistan.

It's me sitting on the ground.

The kids had a great time.

Many thanks to Abdul Majid for a lot of fine pictures. I take the chance to appear one more time. It does not happen very often.

We all hope to come back soon.

Museum of Puppetry

Traditionelle dukker, som man kan se dem i Pakistan og Indien, ofte lavet af romaer.

Faisaan Peerzada var allerede som dreng fascineret af dukketeatret og har vel selv bygget omkring halvandet tusind dukker. Men han har også gennem årene samlet både dukker, plakater og videoer af dukketeater og det er blevet til det spændende Museum of Puppetry i Rafi Peer Cultural Center i Lahore i delstaten Punjab.
De syv Peerzada søskende begyndte deres teaterworkshop i 1974 og fra 1992 har der foruden utallige lokale musik og teaterarrangementer næsten hvert år været afholdt internationale festivaler.
