SYNOPSIS
Every word from this line on is fiction and fantasy.
In 1992 some few theatre companies moved into a building. Unbeknownst to them they were all puppets. But these puppets had a home transient and volatile as it may be. 
Some facts are present from this point on.
Curated by Core Team Member Ellison Tan Puppet Origin Stories @ ONE-TWO-SIX: Only Puppets in the Building is an obsession about the puppets that live and breathe in the building and their vibrant yet volatile homes. It is also an invitation to reimagine the trials and celebrations of the theatre companies that first made art come alive here at ONE-TWO-SIX Cairnhill Arts Centre.
