The Albanian capital is turning into a cultural hub for the region and beyond. For six days<br />
Tirana hosted the International Puppet Theatre Festival Albania. This festival showcased<br />
original performances by puppet theatres from all over the world. Theatres and companies<br />
from China, Turkey, Spain, Romania and Albania performed every day at Metropol Theatre<br />
and at the Skanderbeg Square. They presented new ways of communications, traditions,<br />
exchange of experiences and cultures through puppetry.<br />
All the puppet plays enticed the imagination of all people no matter their age.<br />
The festival will always be open to all forms of puppet expression, techniques, genres or<br />
themes.<br />
The main thrust is to raise the level of puppet expression in all fields of puppetry.<br />
Keeping up with the contemporary tendencies in puppetry, not forgetting the tradition<br />
and peculiarity of different puppetry schools, is our guiding idea and requires constant<br />
organizational and program-based inquiry and improvement.<br />
Our mission is to point at some new achievements and views on puppetry art to professional<br />
puppetry creators, as well as to audience and puppetry lovers.<br />
These kind of Festivals brings us closer to the cultures of the world with the intense and<br />
essential look of puppet theatres, a thousand-year-old theatre that re-emerges endowed<br />
with the infinite forms that today define the puppet’s art.
