since China Zhangzhou Puppet Show Troupe's establishment 30
years ago, Zhangzhou Puppet Show Troupe has put on performances
all over the country. It has been to Beijing for 17 times to
present the shows to Beijing people. Moreover, it has won many
awards at domestic as well as international arts festivals.

dozen times. It has performed the shows and displayed the puppets
in more than 20 countries and regions, including Romania, Poland,
the former Russia, Yugoslav, Czech, Hungary, Mongolia, France,
Swiss, Indonesia, Australia, the USA, Canada, the Great Britain,

glove puppet shows as "the top-notch art in the world",
and Zhangzhou's puppet heads are renowned as the "oriental
art treasure".
With a gathering
of talents, the Troupe has a strong lineup. There are 52 actors
and staff members in the Troupe, among which 24 have been granted
mid- and- high technical titles, and 15 are members of Chinese
Theatre Association and Fujian Theatre Association. Some of
them hold the leading posts in the artists associations at each
