Planet of the puppeteers
Two women from Hong Kong and Romania share the magic of storytelling through puppetry.
Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to two women about the magic of storytelling through puppetry.
From the moment she played the part of a clock in a school play, Heather Lai from Hong Kong knew she wanted to go to drama school. It was there she fell in love with puppetry. After completing her training at The Curious School of Puppetry, she's performed on both the stage and in the television studio. Heather's currently starring in the award-winning My Neighbor Totoro at the Barbican Theatre.
Ana Cr膬ciun-Lambru is an award-winning theatre director and puppeteer from Romania. Her one-woman show 'Dust' uses puppetry to tell the stories of the Romanian women who emigrated to the US. Ana has performed worldwide and has also featured on Romania鈥檚 Got Talent with her puppet troupe.
