Festive Dress
In 1962, Ellen Stewart, Artistic Director/Founder of La MaMa, invited puppet artists from Korea to perform their production of Head Hunting by Pagoon Kang Wouk. This began La MaMa’s love affair with the form, and puppetry has been an integral part of La MaMa’s artistic vision ever since. Cheryl Henson and the International Festival of Puppet Theatre has contributed significantly to the continuing evolution of puppet theatre here at La MaMa and around the world.
