Artists' Comments
Pesta Boneka has truly succeeded in sharing the rich culture and
heart of Indonesia with participants and guests from all corners of the World.
Hearts were deeply touched and minds were strengthened in order to encourage
each of us to keep inspiring and healing the world around us.
With such a team, such smiles and such an audience a performer
is playing in heaven. Thank you Yogyakarta and Papermoon Puppet
Theatre for the most wonderful performance experience in PESTA
BONEKA !
(Bernd Ogrodnik & Hildur, World of Puppets- National Theatre of Iceland )
It was a beautiful gathering of people involved in the art of
puppetry and eventually can be a huge and important festival in Southeast Asia.
I think in the future will be just fantastic, its growing edition after
edition!
(Victor Hugo Hidalgo, Mexico)
PESTA
BONEKA is one of a kind festival, unique. It's a reunion where artists become
friends or we can even say become a family sharing knowledge, talent and more
important, hearts and life. It’s a perfect field for creation.
Relationship
with locals and the other artists is a very special intimate matter, through
shows, talks, cooking together, workshops and encounters with local theatre
companies and artists; all very well orchestrated by Papermoon Puppet Theatre,
so generous, talented and dedicated.
Sometimes
theatre work runs so fast that there's no time to get deep in the things that
really matter in art so in life. It's
magic when you can find a festival like PESTA BONEKA, a break in the race, and
you can touched and be touched by all the community that shared those wonderful
moments. I came back to Spain so full of inspiration and gratitude.

For
Me PESTA BONEKA is a very honest festival, no pretentions.
What
you see is what you get. You'll get the chance to see the beauty of each others
art and also the beauty of Yogya's community...
The
festival breaks the wall of artists and the community. More of this festival
please...
Pesta
Boneka is a festival of arts, love and friendship.

In
Pesta Boneka, I witnessed the world and the local meet organically in an
artist-initiated festival. I'd witnessed emotion and mind in inanimate
material, the puppet.
Jogjakarta
is a great place for something like this to happen, with its independent spirit
and lively art community. Papermoon, on the other hand, is a great host,
offering both experience and passion in equal measures.
The realization of the festival seemed like a magical or
miraculous event which I hadn't seen before.

With the enormous wayang tradition of Indonesia, PESTA BONEKA is
a necessary open window to explore and share locally and internationally about
the diversity and richness of the puppetry world.
