Interactive Puppet Shows for Kids & Families

When we perform for children, we don't just hold the mic and puppeteer from afar. We focus on the interactive dialogue—the 'Katha'—where the puppets directly address the audience, turning the performance into a conversation that keeps children, even those as young as two, completely engaged with the story's moral and rhythm.

More Than Just Entertainment

At Dhaatu, we believe puppetry is a bridge between generations. When we bring stories from the Panchatantra or the epics to life, we are not just hosting a show; we are sharing cultural values in a way that children find fun rather than didactic.

Why Choose Our Shows?

• Authentic Artistry: We use traditional Sutrada Gombe (string puppets) crafted with silk, cotton, and traditional jewelry. Every puppet is designed to be expressive and durable for interactive sessions.
• Age-Appropriate Content: From the simple moral lessons in Mooshikaa Katha for toddlers to more complex mythological sagas for older students, we tailor our performance and interaction level to the audience.
• Total Immersion: Our portable proscenium stage includes painted backdrops and professional background scores, allowing us to set up a full theater experience in school halls, housing society clubhouses, or private gardens.

Practical Details for Organizers

We handle all technical requirements, including the PA system for the soundtrack and the staging. A standard show runs for 60 minutes, which includes the performance and a short post-show interaction where children can ask questions or get a closer look at the puppets. We recommend planning for a 90-minute setup window prior to your start time to ensure all lighting and backdrop layers are perfect.

Whether you are hosting a school festival, a birthday party, or a cultural event in Bengaluru, our goal is to leave your audience with a sense of wonder and a story to share.
