### My story

We’re Ishara Puppet Theatre Trust. Been at this for 20 years, puppets are our thing. Started out believing puppets just talk to people, straight up—no language, no age barriers. Every year, our Delhi stage gets wild with artists from Spain, Russia, Mexico, and more. You’ll see Korean slapstick, Brazilian drama, and our own Panchatantra tales. We mix Indian textiles into our shows too. For us, it’s all about sparking that joy, making stories hit home.

### My work

- **Annual International Puppet Festival**: We host diverse puppet acts from all over the world in Delhi. Big on multicultural puppetry acts.
- **Original Indian Puppet Shows**: We adapt Indian tales like Panchatantra and use local textiles for unique textile puppetry India.
- **Private Performances & Interactive Acts**: From musical string adventures to hands-as-puppets, we offer interactive puppet performance for all ages.
- **Thoughtful, Uplifting Storytelling**: Our shows dig into friendship, creativity, and being yourself. Not just fun—there’s something to chew on.
