After three years, once again the Ishara International Puppet Festival has started at the India Habitat Center, New Delhi. During the period of the festival, artists from Holland, Hungary Italy, and Korea will showcase their art. The festival is produced by Teamwork Arts in association with Ishara Puppet Theatre Trust. This unique festival will not only feature puppets and artists from different countries but a confluence of story and technology also. Featuring delightful performances, the audience will witness performances by renowned artists in which the fun will be in full swing.

Puppet Shala Group performed on the inaugural day of the festival named 'Gulliver's Travels' the duration of the play was 50 minutes and was directed by Mohammad Shameem. Jonathan Swift's much-loved children's tale is brought to life in this dazzling adaptation. It's an adventure full of beautiful puppets, foot-tapping music, and kooky objects! Gulliver gets caught in a terrible sea storm, and suddenly finds himself a giant among men, ashore on the magical island of Lilliput. At first, held a prisoner by the tiny Lilliputians, he slowly wins over their hearts, showing them what compassion, love, and true friendship should be like. The show will teach all ages alike that it's never how big you are in size, but how big you are on the inside that counts.

Since its inception in 2001, the International Puppetry Festival has brought together storytellers and artists from around the world to celebrate storytelling through the medium of puppetry.
