2010 The first “Close to You” Festival

1st Oct. ~ 10th Oct., 2010
Gongguan Area, Shih-Da Area, Yong-Kang Area

The Flying-group Theatre held the first “Closet to You” International Puppet Festival with nine shows throughout three areas: Gongguan Area, Shida Area and Yong-Kang Area. The audience walked and stayed around the city, like joining an autumnal journey with a theme of treasure-hunting. Positive criticism and great compliments from audience were given to the festival.
