From Brazil to Italy, Iceland to Tunisia - the Ishara International Puppet Theatre Festival has travelled the world to curate its fantastic line-up for 2019! Celebrating its 17th anniversary with a diverse range of breath-taking performances in New Delhi (at the India Habitat Centre) and Chandigarh (at the Tagore Theatre).
From humble beginnings in 2001, the Ishara International Puppet Theatre Festival has grown into one of Asia’s largest and most prestigious puppet festivals.

Bursting with excitement, this exuberant whistle-stop tour around the world is a lot of fun and a trip worth making. We travel the high seas in a big white ship and along the way meet our global neighbours. Each place the ship visits is a new musical number, filled with big, colourful, imaginative puppets, dance and foot tapping music from that part of the world. Learn about interesting places, traditions and lots more! Utterly enchanting, this family treat of a show should leave you and yours wide-eyed with wonder.
