The Bonifacio Global City‘s recent Boni Viva Luci festival (BGC Light Festival) was bursting with artistic wonders, but one exhibit stole the show for our family: the incredible Indigenous Wildlife Puppets by Puppet Theater MNL!

These weren’t your average hand puppets – we’re talking larger-than-life, illuminated creatures that brought gasps of wonder from children and adults alike! The craftsmanship and artistry were breathtaking, and seeing these majestic animals brought to life with dazzling lights, vibrant colors and intricate details was an experience that left us all speechless. The illumination transformed them into breathtaking spectacles, a fusion of art and nature that left us all in awe.

These puppets did more than entertain; they instilled a sense of appreciation for the Philippines’ incredible biodiversity. Let’s celebrate the beauty of Philippine wildlife and the artistry of Puppet Theater MNL! Sharing with you as well some of my favorite photos with the puppets:
