Mason Artist-in-Residence: Papermoon Puppet Theatre at Harris Theater at George Mason University

Indonesia’s innovative Papermoon Puppet Theatre presents a spellbinding, non-verbal puppetry work. Founded in 2006 by illustrator, writer, and theater performer Maria (Ria) Tri Sulistyani and visual artist Iwan Effendi, Papermoon has traveled the world with its mixed media productions that are personal, yet universally resonant. A bittersweet and hopeful piece, Puno tells the story of Tala, a young girl who is coping with her father’s passing, exploring how we can hold and appreciate what has been left to us. Join us to “…delight in the innocence, the beauty and the expert puppetry” (The Sydney Morning Herald). 
 
Recommended for children and adults; ages 7 and older.
