Exclusive Cultural Collaboration
with Myanmar Marionette Theatre
Governor’s Residence proudly collaborates with Myanmar Marionette Theatre, founded by Daw Ma Ma Naing, Chairperson of the Myanmar Marionette Committee and one of Myanmar’s leading advocates for the preservation of traditional marionette artistry.
Renowned for presenting Myanmar’s cultural heritage at international festivals across Asia, Europe, and the United States, the theatre continues to preserve and celebrate the enduring legacy of Myanmar puppetry for future generations.
What is Yoke Thé?
Yoke Thé, Myanmar’s traditional marionette theatre, was once treasured by royal courts as one of the country’s most celebrated storytelling traditions.
Blending music, dance, craftsmanship, and theatrical performance, these beautifully handcrafted puppets bring folklore, history, and cultural heritage to life through an art form passed down across generations.
Today, this treasured tradition continues to preserve the elegance and spirit of Myanmar heritage through authentic live performances.
