Through The Frame: Puppetry in Motion
A collaborative project between TồLô Puppet Theatre Company and Gavin Glover, a UK-based puppetry and visual theatre artist.
The project explores the intersection of puppetry, camera, and live performance through an innovative two-part structure: a public online seminar and a one-week intensive creative residency in Hanoi. It culminates in a mini-festival-style showcase that celebrates live-cinema puppetry. Happening March - August 2026.
