Jin Yu Yuan Puppet Theatre

    The Theatre was founded by Chin Tung Chao, who has performed, since his childhood, traditional hand puppet shows at temples nationwide with his father. At that time, he was fascinated with the popular puppet shows on television. Hence, he has determined to learn, promote and spread this traditional culture and founded Jin Yu Yuan Puppet Theatre in 2008. He has applied the computer animation technique in the photo studio in addition modern laser technology, Sichuan face-changing, marionette flying stunts to the open-field shows and recreated large-scale wooden puppets shows.


    The Troupe is also active in the pop-music circle and had helped produced MV for Huang Fei, a Taiwanese song singer, and featured MV jointly with Zhenlan Temple of Dajia.


    He has insisted in promoting Taiwanese puppet theatre culture despite hardships in various environments in reality and the Troupe had been invited to perform the shows in several countries such as Japan, Vietnam, Canada, Bulgaria and China among others.


    Recent plan includes the production of 36 puppet shows of filial act to promote filial piety. Puppet show is not just for entertainment but a legacy of technique of promoting the traditional Taiwanese culture of loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness. Since 2018, the shows have been brought as a charitable tour to various hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages and schools in remote areas.
