Curatorial statement
Radical breakthrough\u2014moving forward in the post-pandemic era<\/strong><\/p>

Since 2010, going to see the Close to YOU International Performing Object Festival with everyone has become a romantic \u201corange date\u201d for us. Touring with the guide through allies, witnessing the experimental practice of objects and puppet theatres, as if it was a journey to the land of puppetry. Close to YOU International Performing Object Festival used to hold its programs at the venues in our daily lives, turning a living space into a character, a text or a stage. We wonder, would the relationship between human beings and objects be more open and flexible if we jump out of those living spaces? In addition to animating and operating, is there more to be found in terms of the use of puppets? In the 9th edition this year, the Festival continues to explore the relationship between human beings and objects while putting an emphasis on space. The venue planning of 3 areas are extended into 3 different types of spaces - daily-life space, online space and neutral space. With this innovative concept, we hope to push objects\/puppets forward in the post pandemic era, and to realize the idea of making the Festival an experimental platform.<\/p>
