No Strings Attached is an annual mini international puppetry festival organised by the Paper Monkey Theatre. The festival gathers reputable puppetry groups and artists from across the world. We have had the honour to host groups from countries such as Australia, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Italy, Taiwan and Thailand. This festival aims to promote puppetry to the Singapore audiences by providing a platform for them to experience various forms of puppetry. The international and regional groups perform in mime or in English, and this makes it accessible for audiences to enjoy and understand puppetry as an artform. The Paper Monkey Theatre hopes to encourage interest and deepen the appreciation of the craft of puppetry through this exposure.

Long ago, in a rural village, farmers celebrated their harvest but forgot to thank the heavens for the favourable weather and bountiful year. Angered by their ingratitude, the Jade Emperor commanded the Dragon King not to send rain to the human world for three years! Moved by compassion, the kind-hearted Dragon Princess secretly lent a helping hand to the people. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and sent heavenly soldiers to capture her. The villagers, wanting to repay her kindness, racked their brains for ways to rescue her. Can the Dragon Princess escape her fate? From 1 September, use SG Culture Pass credits for Dragon Dance tickets!

To celebrate Singapore's 60th birthday, Paper Monkey Theatre presents The Man Who Planted Trees. The play was inspired by the timeless 1953 work The Man Who Planted Trees by French author Jean Giono. This imaginative and whimsical piece is designed for children aged 4 to 10, and pays tribute to Singapore’s founding father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, honouring his visionary leadership in transforming Singapore into a vibrant garden city.
