THE PUPPETEERS AS SOLO PERFORMANCE „MAKERS”
THE PUPPETEERS AS SOLO PERFORMANCE „MAKERS”

Summary/Abstract: Certain syntagms such as total actor and total show have been increasingly used for some time. When it comes to the puppet theatre one might say that the corresponding term for the ideal actor, the total actor as he is called, is the solo puppeteer. There are a number of very good reasons that support the idea of promoting the solo puppet show: the many transformations the art of performing undergoes, the various expectations of the audience, the responsibility the artist assumes towards perfecting his professional activity. The work of some solo puppeteers has been closely observed despite their being un-contemporary but yet important figures in the field. I have contacted some of them personally and had the chance of discussing with them some of my most ardent questions.
