Chinese puppetry (also known as puppet theatre) is performed in various Chinese dialects, depending on the region it originated from. Traditionally, puppet performances are staged mainly for deities. In recent times, secular shows are increasingly staged for general public.
Practitioners share on the five main types of Chinese puppets found in Singapore: Hainanese rod puppets, Teochew iron-stick puppets, Hokkien string puppets, Hokkien glove puppets and Henghua string puppets.
