## About Announcements & Partnerships

Hosting an international festival involves far more than just staging performances. We coordinate with cultural bodies like the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and Acción Cultural Española to manage everything from artist logistics to technical riders, ensuring each production lands perfectly for our New Delhi audience.

For over twenty years, the Ishara Puppet Theatre Trust has acted as a bridge between Indian audiences and global puppetry traditions. Our work here highlights the logistical backbone of the annual festival held at the India Habitat Centre. Managing a lineup that spans countries like Spain, Brazil, Russia, and Korea requires precise coordination. We handle artist visa processes, the transport of museum-grade puppets, and technical setups that range from simple booth stages to complex lighting rigs.

Beyond the logistics, our partnerships are foundational. We collaborate with international institutes and local cultural departments to maintain the high standard our audience expects. These alliances allow us to bring niche, thought-provoking stories to the capital. Whether you see a sold-out notice or a countdown for our next festival, know that it represents months of outreach, planning, and dedication to keeping this art form alive. We are always looking for new collaborators who share our passion for storytelling.

## About Ishara Puppet Theatre

We are the Ishara Puppet Theatre Trust. For two decades, we have dedicated ourselves to connecting global puppetry traditions with local audiences in New Delhi. Our team manages every detail, from creative selection to complex technical logistics, to ensure our festival remains a premier cultural event.
