A BUCKET
OF BEETLES

A BUCKET OF BEETLES by Papermoon Puppet Theatre | Indonesia 

For Ages 5+
46 mins | Non-Verbal

18 - 24 November 2021
Online

“A Bucket of Beetles” is a story about friendship and the relationship between human beings and nature. 
Wehea is a little boy who lives in a big rain forest. Just like any other people who live there, Wehea has a special connection with nature. Even the smallest beings in the forest are his friends. One day, Wehea sees a very special beetle. He then embarks on an adventure to meet the beetle; the ver special rhinoceros beetle who always searches for the lights and turns out to save his life. “A Bucket of Beetles” is more than just a story of a beautiful friendship. It is a story about the connection between humans and nature. 

A story that leaves us questioning ourselves
: are we taking care of our water, soil, and air enough? 

This play is based on a story told by a 5-years old little boy.
 

​All designs of the animal puppets in the play are taken from his drawings.
