Rubu Qurn Theater and Performing Arts is excited to announce its event “Our Celebration in the Quarter Century Theater” during Eid Al Adha, from June 16th to June 19th, 2024.
The event will take place at the Quarter Century Theater and Performing Arts Center in Zahia, Sharjah, where Chinese culture will meet Emirati culture in a unique and vibrant celebration.
In “Our Celebration in the Quarter Century Theater,” a group of expert puppeteers from the People’s Republic of China will be hosted in Sharjah. The aim is to introduce the audience to the rich tradition of Chinese puppetry, a popular art form in China that spread to the Islamic world through Persia.
The Chinese experts will conduct several engaging workshops on puppetry and present captivating shows that highlight the prominent types of Chinese puppets, bringing Chinese culture to life in an artistic and elaborate manner.
Hosting this Chinese delegation in Sharjah is a significant step towards fostering cultural exchange and cooperation between the UAE and China. China, known for its leading role and rich heritage in the field of puppetry, brings a wealth of knowledge and tradition to the Emirate. This collaboration underscores the UAE’s commitment to expanding cultural and artistic ties with friendly nations.
Puppet theater enthusiasts and those interested in learning puppetry techniques can register for the event through the Rubu’ Qarn Foundation for Creating Leaders and Innovators’ website. This event presents a golden opportunity to nurture creative imagination and enhance the ability to manipulate theatrical puppets, making it a must-attend for anyone passionate about this art form.
