“Invisible Stories” was developed following more than three months of field research across Bangladesh, during which Cannac collected folk materials and inspiration from various regions, including the Sundarbans. The resulting performance is rooted in the form of body puppetry, in which both human actors and puppets share the stage, often blurring the line between the two.
Through the artistes’ use of puppetry and physical movement, the invisible becomes visible, offering a glimpse into the unseen forces shaping the world around us. From "tree ghosts" blamed for Dhaka's infamous traffic to the "ectoplasm" holding up the city’s walls, the show plays with the supernatural in ways that are both whimsical and profound.
