The Puppeteer Prepares – The Film

One year on, how have Singaporeans been coping with the pandemic?

Enter into the world of a puppeteer, with a behind-the-scenes look at the ways in which artists and makers have been coping during the past year. Pulling together narratives of strength and resilience from the community, watch stories of individuals trying to bridge the gaps between one another, and of a family finding new ways to stay together, all brought to life through the age-old art of puppetry.
