The 24th China Shanghai International Arts Festival is held from Oct 17 to Nov 27. As a key component of the festival's Art Space program, the "weekend parent-child magic theatre" series brings art closer to everyday life through its puppet show.

The Fifth Wheel, a German troupe specializing in marionette performances, will present its light-hearted puppet play Wild West Cabaret. The show, which transforms the stage into a wild and enchanting Western saloon, will take place at 2 pm on Nov 2 at the GuangXin Infinity Performance Art Center in Putuo district.

The show features world-renowned magicians and international puppet troupes, Shanghai Puppet Theatre, and an African dance troupe that has performed on the Spring Festival Gala, promoting international exchange and development in children's cultural arts.

The troupe performs for audiences of all ages, presenting shows for children at puppet festivals and captivating late-night performances for adults on cruise ships.

Head to Putuo and join the wild celebration! As music, puppetry, and laughter come together, the district transforms into a vibrant stage of creativity and joy.
