The Call of the Forest is upon us!

World Puppetry Day 2023 is here to celebrate the history and evolution of puppetry from around the world. This year, we are giving the spotlight to our forests and wildlife, and the impact of mankind’s relationship with nature. UNIMA had invited you, our esteemed members and cherished artists, to send us your passionate works over the last few months.

World Puppetry Day speech by the General Secretary of UNIMA Dimitri Jageneau:

“Dear puppeteers around the world, dear members of UNIMA: This year is very special because we are celebrating 20 years of World Puppetry Day; I am very thankful to all its contributors. For twenty years you have shared and created projects and contributed parts of your work for this day to promote puppetry from all corners of the world.

This year, the topic (of this video montage) is “The Call of the Forest” and I am very thankful to all contributors. Let’s share this huge event. Let’s enjoy this moment together with puppetry, for creativity, and believe the world will be a better place with puppetry. That’s the message of the General Secretary – Dimitri Jageneau. All my greetings to all UNIMA members and puppeteers from around the world.”
