Chinese puppet shows in Singapore are now mainly performed as an offering to Taoist Gods during specific festive dates on the lunar Chinese calendar.

In this particular troupe, it consists of three lady puppeteers, a keyboardist as well as another musician playing the accompanying cymbals, drums and beat. Unlike Chinese opera which involves singing, Chinese puppet shows involve story telling with the puppets by the ladies in Hokkien (a type of Chinese dialect).

The three ladies seemed to be just bantering while pulling the strings of the puppets but they were actually telling a story. Even though the audience cannot see them from the front, they were indeed quite animated as they spoke and acted out the scenes.
