Abstract

Imagination is the launch of creativity. Creativity is the core of any progress. In our society, we need to build the advancement not only by developing children's education, but also by freeing the soul of the grownups to let them create. Work and rhythm of modern society snatched away lots of our senses. We are becoming more and more the realistic person who lives in a materialistic world.  We do not have time to use our imagination. We even passively watch movies and theatre performances. Although we sometimes interact with the immersive show we are attending, we still remain the passive perceiver of the richly designed characters and scenes. How can we liberate the child in us? Is it too late to enliven our imagination? How can we stimulate the audience's imagination to let go of their inner creative potentials? How can we create a language to invoke their fantasy? Although a perfect designed figurative puppet suggests a character on stage, a simple object puppet is capable of reflecting time, space, character and more. This paper suggests the use of Object Theatre to call back the imagination of an exhausted, uncreative member of a hectic society.
