In A Taste Of Teochew Opera, part of the story is told through iron-rod puppets controlled by puppeteers who are members of Goh’s families ranging in age from 12 to 71 years old.
Teochew opera practitioners Ling Goh and family take to the stage with puppets in tow.
A GENERAL frames a minister and has every first-born in a village killed. A jilted lover poisons the person she holds responsible for her misery. A poor farmer gets caught up, unwittingly, in the state’s secret affairs and corruption. And the stories go on, told and retold for centuries, and enjoyed by old and young alike.
