Fodor's Expert Review Mandalay Marionettes

Ma Ma Naing and Naing Yee Mar founded this theater in 1986 and, in 2000, performed in France, the Netherlands, and the United States. The team also works with NGOs to put on puppet shows that aim at improving AIDS awareness. The expert manipulators here use colorful marionettes to tell classic Burmese tales, including love stories and one about a flying alchemist.
