AURA OF PUPPETS - PUPPETRY FROM ALL AROUND
We are a network for professional puppet artists that promotes the development of puppetry and visual theatre in Finland.
We organise festivals, performances and workshops – and create the vivid puppetry art scene in Finland.
Aura of Puppets aims to enhance and develop the working conditions of our freelance artist members by offering a production framework that is flexible and responsive to their needs. Our goal is to help our members from the first idea to the premiere, nationally and internationally.
