SUMMARY:Puppet Theater: Kojiki de Creation
DESCRIPTION:CONTEMPORARY PUPPET THEATER | WORLD PREMIERE \nThursday\, October 15 at 7:30 pm—Followed by a Private Gathering for Artists and Members\nFriday\, October 16 at 7:30 pm—Preceded by a Pre-Performance Lecture\nSaturday\, October 17 at 7:30 pm—Preceded by a Pre-Performance Lecture\nSunday\, October 18 at 2:30 pm—Followed by an Artist Q&A \nFollowing the acclaim of 2022’s 9000 Paper Balloons\, New York-based puppeteer Maiko Kikuchi returns to Japan Society with Kojiki de Creation — a world premiere animating the gods\, islands\, critters and howling chaos of the Kojiki\, Japan’s oldest mythological chronicle. As a lone reader opens the book\, an ancient world erupts from its pages onto the stage: Kikuchi fashions fearsome Shinto gods from everyday objects and draws primordial creatures into being before your eyes. The result is a theatrical conjuring of the birth of Japan itself — assembled\, with characteristic whimsy\, from paper\, ink and imagination. \nOn Friday\, October 16 and Saturday\, October 17\, a pre-performance lecture on Japanese creation myths and the Kojiki begins at 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Galapagos Puppet Theater Presents: The Blazing Fire Mountain and Its Princess\, A Monkey King Tale
DESCRIPTION:DATE: Saturday\, September 19\, 2026 \nTIMES: 11 AM & 2 PM \nGeneral Admission: $15 Adults | $12 Members | $8 Children \nFamily programming \n“A rare experience of cultural legacy as a living\, breathing\, and playful entity.” —Diana Lu\, New England Theatre Geek  \nJoin the mischievous Monkey King as he takes on a mountain of fire! When Monk Tang and his disciples find their journey blocked by a blazing fire mountain\, they learn that only a magical fan can put out the flames—but the fan’s owner\, the powerful Iron Fan Princess\, has no intention of lending it out. Will the disciples’ powers of transformation\, persuasion\, and puppet martial arts be enough to win the fan and save the day? \nGalapagos Puppet Theater brings this beloved episode of Journey to the West\, the 400-year-old Chinese epic\, to life through the delicate and acrobatic art of Bu Dai Xi (Taiwanese hand puppetry). Expressive silk scarves and vividly crafted puppets move to live music on erhu\, bamboo flute\, and percussion\, courtesy of celebrated folk musician Jimmy Zhao and his ensemble. It’s a 40-minute journey through martial arts\, mischief\, and magic! \nOur 2 PM show will feature a Q&A in Chinese with the Master of Taiwanese puppetry. \nAbout Galapagos Puppet Theater  \nMadeleine Beresford and Margaret Moody met at Oberlin College and founded Galapagos Puppet Theater in 1987. Drawn to puppetry as a meeting point of sculpture\, theater\, and storytelling\, they create original fantasies alongside adaptations of folktales and beloved books. \nMargaret and Madeleine hand-make most of their own puppets\, including rod\, shadow\, hand\, and life-sized puppets\, while the puppets used in their Chinese folktales were crafted by Taiwan’s I Wan Jan Troupe. Both artists studied under the late master puppeteer Lee Tien-lu\, honored as a “national living treasure” in Taiwan\, who taught them the Chang Chung Hsi style\, known as the “theater of the palm of the hand.” That training now forms the foundation of their performances of three episodes from Journey to the West. \nTheir work has been supported by the Henson Foundation\, the Puffin Foundation\, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, and they’ve delighted audiences of children and adults at libraries\, schools\, and theaters across the region\, including a recent\, warmly received performance at the Puppet Showplace Theater in Brookline\, Massachusetts.
