Tsunami Relief Show 2005, Saranga Puppet Society at Telwatte Temple, Sri Lanka
It was ten years ago today that Stefan told the puppeteers to play...
Healing the invisible wounds with beauty and laughter was the basic idea. This is a rare document of recent traditional ceylonese puppetry as well, of the time when Stefan conducted as an independent volunteer The-Road-Show-of-Hope for the tsunami victims of Sri Lanka. His road show lasted two and a half years. Saranga Puppet Society, Sri Anura Puppet Society and later formed MANGOFRIENDS PUPPET SOCIETY were on the road all over the devastated coastlines of the island - from the South to the North, from the East to the West.
Former volunteer James Ellis said:
I can’t remember the kids laughing so much so short a time after the tragedy.
