Through interviews with members of the SamadhiTang Creative Puppet Troupe, this work delves into the multiple challenges facing contemporary glove puppetry, including the age gap among audiences and the difficulty of preserving traditional skills. Through the perspectives of the troupe members, it presents their struggles and efforts in upholding tradition while pursuing innovative breakthroughs, further revealing their expectations and visions for the future development of glove puppetry.
During the interviews, we also focus on the issue of nurturing the next generation, gradually outlining how the younger generation enters this ancient art form, from the learning threshold and training process to the difficulties of actually entering the industry. By conveying these efforts, the audience can not only see the hard work behind the skills but also feel the weight and significance of cultural inheritance.
