- 團隊介紹 Introduction
Professor Amelia Lapeña-Bonifacio founded Teatrong Mulat ng Pilipinas in 1977. “Mulat” means “open” and “awaken.” The Theatre hopes the children can be awakened to the beauty and abundance of Filipino culture, and be introduced to the Asian culture that they are unfamiliar with. Mulat is inspired by Indonesia Wayang Golek (rod puppetry), Wayang Kulit (shadow puppetry) and Japanese bunraku. The Theatre is a pioneer of puppetry in the Philippines. Their performances are mostly children’s plays based on Filipino and Asian folk stories.
In 2006, with the assistance of the former president, Fidel V. Ramos, and former vice president, Joseph Estrada, the first puppet museum in the Philippines, Amelia Lapeña-Bonifacio Papet Teatro-Museo, was founded.
Amelia Lapeña-Bonifacio 教授於 1977 年創立了穆拉特劇場。「穆拉特」意思是打開、喚醒；劇院期望喚醒孩子們瞭解菲律賓文化的美麗和豐富，以及介紹他們仍然不熟悉的亞洲文化。穆拉特受印尼的 Wayang Golek（杖頭偶）、Wayang Kulit（皮影戲）和日本文樂的啟發，在菲律賓偶戲的創建方面處於先驅地位。演出以菲律賓和亞洲民間故事為主軸的兒童戲劇。
2006年，在菲律賓前總統菲德爾·拉莫斯（Fidel V. Ramos）和副總統約瑟夫·埃斯特拉達（Joseph Estrada）的協助下，建立了菲律賓第一座偶戲博物館 Amelia Lapeña-Bonifacio Papet Teatro-Museo。

穆拉特劇場一年大約二十場演出，大部分都是室內演出，在學校或劇場。通常在菲律賓奎松市演出，如果有受到邀約也會去其它地方演出。
- 國際交流 International Exchange
Teatrong Mulat ng Pilipinas is often invited to participate in international puppet art festivals, mostly in Asia. They learn from the experiences performing abroad that nonverbal shows are better when facing language barriers.
Through the help of the embassy and nonprofit organizations, Teatrong Mulat ng Pilipinas also invites puppet artists from other countries to perform.
穆拉特劇場曾經受邀參加國外的偶戲藝術節，通常是亞洲國家。在出海外演出的經驗中他們也學到，無語言的演出是面對語言隔閡比較好的選擇。
透過大使館或基金會的幫助，穆拉特劇場也會邀請來自其他國家的操偶師們前來演出。
