Last but not least for #huayi2019, the amazingly intricate Quanzhou Marionette Art! Otherwise called “Xuan Si Kui Lei” in ancient times, this traditional form of puppetry originated in the Qin and Han dynasties. The video shows a puppeteer wielding the strings of a magistrate named Zhong Kui, who is drunk 😂 • The Quanzhou Marionette Troupe maintains more than 700 traditional puppet shows and a unique type of opera music named Puppet Tunes consisting of more than 300 tunes, and has developed its own methods and techniques of pulling strings (pun not intended). • #mydurian #esplanadesg #esplanade #singapore #huayi #puppetry
