In the beginning… there was a puppet
Then there were two
They multiplied and created a family of puppets
This family produced more families
These families became communities
And these communities created larger communities until… there was one big community of puppets!
Imagine a million puppets in one big space… sock, hand, rod, finger, junk, glove, shadow, marionettes, and movable creations never seen before!
On April 6th 2008 this dream will become a reality when the Perth Concert Hall comes alive with puppets from across the globe for the ‘World’s Largest Puppet Display’!
The Million Puppet Project invites you to make one or one hundred puppets and send them on a journey to Perth, Western Australia, for a new Guinness World Record!
The exhibition will culminate on Carnival Day with an explosion of activities, performances and fun for the whole family. During the day the final count will take place and the record-breaking number will be announced.
The Million Puppet Project is an initiative of Spare Parts Puppet Theatre and is supported by Lotterywest.
The Project seeks to embody the values UNIMA represents: bringing together people from around the world who are interested in using the art of puppetry to promote human values of peace and mutual understanding between peoples, regardless of race, political or religious convictions and differences in culture.
Let your imagination run wild, send your puppets on a trip of a lifetime and become part of this global community!
