Bodies, objects, or memories of dwelling
What do we truly leave behind when we disappear?
Amidst irreversible tides of change, how will relics and memories carry forward our story of existence, disappearance, and rebirth?
TồLô warmly invites you to drop by and immerse yourself in this special space, marking the final stage of MicroFestival.
Over these two showcases, micro-cinema works will merge with live performance to weave stories of people, places, the subconscious, and transformation brought to life through puppets, everyday objects, light, and sound.
TồLô believes that this is a space to spark dialogues between experts and newcomers in micro-cinema theatre, while also fostering meaningful connections and nurture a long-term passion for the art of visual storytelling through the stage.

About the project
Through the Frame: Puppetry in Motion is a project initiated by ToLo Puppet Theatre, focusing on creatives that combine puppetry / object theatre, camera, and live performance.
As the project enters its final chapter, MICROFESTIVAL invites audiences to explore the world of contemporary puppetry through two event series, each offering a distinct way of experiencing contemporary storytelling.
(1) Puppetry in Motion (17–20 August)
chit-chat/iced tea/coffee/hangouts/… + puppet picture show
(2) Micro-Cinema Theatre Showcase (22–23 August)
Discover the Micro-Cinema Theatre, where the boundaries between live performance and the screen become fluid.
