What’s On
Potehi Performance Masterclass with 柯世宏 Shih Hung Ko
Paper Monkey Theatre’s Masterclass 2026 is part of its ongoing commitment to preserve, deepen, and transmit traditional Asian puppetry practices through rigorous professional training. This year we are honoured to have full support from Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. This immersive Potehi masterclass offers practitioners a rare opportunity to learn directly from a master puppeteer, engaging deeply with the form’s techniques, aesthetics, and performance philosophy. The programme culminates in a short showcase, allowing participants to apply their learning in a performative context.
Good, Night 2026
It’s bedtime—lights on or lights off? Two friends can’t agree. One feels calm and safe in the dark, ready to fall asleep, while the other is afraid and needs the lights on to feel secure. As the night goes on, their disagreement grows, and both struggle to explain how they feel. What should they do—and how can they understand each other? Good, Night. uses shadow puppetry to gently explore how children experience fear, comfort, and communication. Through the play of light and shadow, their thoughts and emotions come to life—turning worries into shapes, and imagination into stories on stage. This simple yet heartfelt story invites young audiences to reflect on their own bedtime feelings, while learning about empathy, compromise, and the importance of listening to one another.
