Abstract: This study examines the directorial techniques and new stage forms in puppet theatre while analyzing the experiences of leading theatre companies worldwide. The article demonstrates that puppet theatre is not merely an art form intended for children but a complex theatrical phenomenon that explores social, philosophical, and psychological issues. Furthermore, it discusses the future development prospects of puppet theatre and its potential expansion through new technologies and experimental approaches. Specifically, the study investigates the integration of puppet theatre with cinema, choreography, visual installations, and new media. Modern technologies enable puppet theatre to transcend the limitations of traditional mechanical movements, fostering immersive theatrical experiences. Special attention is given to the necessity of advancing Kazakhstani puppet theatre in alignment with global trends. In this context, the importance of integrating national folklore with contemporary technological solutions is emphasized to enhance the artistic potential of the theatre. This research aims to expand the boundaries of puppet theatre, explore new forms of audience interaction, and develop theatre as a space where tradition and innovation converge.
