- 團隊介紹 Introduction
Homemade Puppet Group is a shadow puppet and object theatre founded by puppet artist, Sutarath Sinnong (Tom). Most of their works are solo pieces. Except for music, all performance elements are designed and crafted by Sutarath, including the puppets. As the troupe's name suggests, Sutarath emphasizes the power of “handmaking.” Homemade Puppet Group cares for environmental issues, as well as the diversity of people, society, thinkings and beliefs.
Homemade Puppet Group 是由操偶師 Sutarath Sinnong（Tom）成立的影戲及物件劇場。大部分的作品都是獨角戲，除了音樂，所有演出要素由 Sutarath 自己設計和製作，包括戲偶。一如團名，Sutarath 強調「手作」的力量。Homemade Puppet Group 關心環境議題，以及人、社會、思想或信仰的多元性。
- 偶戲創作及願景 Mission and Vision
Sutarath Sinnong, founder of Homemade Puppet Group, believes that puppetry is a way of storytelling through images, actions and music. Such performance has the power to transcend language, national and age barriers to communicate with the audiences, and provide them space for free interpretation.
Sutarath likes darkness, and shadow puppetry gives darkness meanings. “Light and shadow are mysterious, and they help our imaginations transcend limitations.” The miracle that fascinates the audiences is the reason that draws her into shadow puppetry.
Homemade Puppet Group’s creative process begins with stories, and then adapts them. Recently, Sutarath Sinnong often writes her own original stories, starting with the things she wants to explore. She also sometimes turns the images or imaginations on her mind into stories.
Homemade Puppet Group 的創辦人 Sutarath Sinnong 認為偶戲是一種透過畫面、動作和音樂來說故事的方式，而這樣表演本身能夠跨越語言、國界、年齡，進而與觀眾溝通，並給予觀眾個人詮釋的空間，沒有對錯。
Sutarath Sinnong 喜歡黑暗，而影戲讓黑暗有了意義。「光和影總是給人神秘感，並且幫助我們的想像超越限制。」讓觀眾驚豔這種奇蹟就是他想要做影戲的原因。
Homemade Puppet Group 的創作從故事開始，而後進行改編。近期 Sutarath Sinnong 通常會創作自己的原創故事，從他想探討的事情開始；有時也會從一些腦中的畫面或想像發展出故事。
