\n\nThe Happy Prince is a famous short story written by Oscar WILDE in 1888. Please enjoy this truly fabulous fable, a classic in The Puppet and Its Double Theater’s repertoire. The production features the ‘rod marionette’ popular in the Czech Republic, modified with a special string for gestures. The story of the happy prince has inspired the company to use different types of puppets and stylized staging to heighten the twists and turns of the plot, and its characters, as well as to bring out the ambience and feel of the European locale. Two puppeteers manage the elaborate props, the multiple characters, the flat and three-dimensional puppets, bringing their charm and warmth to the stage. The story is true to life, it will make you laugh and cry.

Puppet & Its Double Theater
\n\nSince its establishment in 1999, Puppet & Its Double strongly believes that “everything can be a puppet,” as it makes great effort to expand the theatrical potentiality of puppetry in contemporary performing arts and to welcome every possible interdisciplinary experiment. With more than ten years being included in Ministry of Culture's long-term cultivation project, it has received several nominations at Taishin Arts Award with different works, while some made the shortlist of finalists, and has been invited to art festival in more than thirty cities at home and abroad around Europe, America, and Asia. Puppet & Its Double moved its base from Taipei to Wujie, Yilan in 2013, where it turned the abandoned barns into Lìzé Puppet Art Colony, the aim of the art colony, as a major international platform for creative puppetry, is to offer domestic and foreign puppet artists a place to experiment and to exchange ideas, while it also organizes professional workshops regularly.
