Family Performances

Every month, our dramatized narrations breathe life into characters found in Sybil Wettasinghe’s classics, local folktales and timeless jathaka katha. Puppets can portray different personalities and traits and embody popular characters from our favourite childhood fables, creating a 4D experience where children can touch, converse and play with the fictional heroes.

These family-oriented performances allow the audience to enter and explore a fascinating world which is rooted in Sri Lankan culture. They stimulate the imagination, encourage creative play and discovery, and are an interactive way for parents to introduce the joys of literature to the digital generation.

We customize puppet shows and interactive performances to suit any event theme! The versatility of puppets is their greatest strength; children immediately relate to puppets as friends, no matter their appearance. Puppets talk back to children and adults with hilarious results. They can speak in different tones and accents, be silly or serious and have the ability to adapt easily to any setting.

We have the experience and the imaginative approach to tailor puppet performances to suit your event. Our performances are perfect for gatherings which include children and adults, can be staged either indoors or outdoors and are guaranteed to provide a crowd pleasing, whimsical touch to your special day.

One of Power of Play's most popular characters is straight out of local folklore about a wise old man and his group of followers. Mahadanamuththa has recruited a brand new team of family and friends to solve the problems of 21st century Sri Lankans. Mahadanamuththa is that unique combination of teacher and entertainer - your favourite guest at the party who relates a serious anecdote one moment and leaves you in stitches the next. His modern Golayas, who are representatives of all communal and gender groups of Sri Lanka, are a hilarious bunch that will remind you of people you actually know! So get in touch with us today for that unique entertainment for your family event!

The interactive live performances of Mahadanamuththa and his modern golayas are brought to life through 3D wooden rod puppets from West Java, Indonesia.
