Summary/Abstract: Joanna Braun sums up Warsaw's A Puppet Is a Person Too festival (Theater Institute in Warsaw, 10-17.10.2014). The author provides an overview of the event's program, briefly describing a few selected plays (Nicola Unger – Audience of One, Unia Niemożliwy Theater – Options for Living according to Professor Leszek Kołakowski, Room Two, Scarlattine Teatro/David Zuazola Puppets Company – Cupido es una broma, Lalka i Ludzie Theater – A Journey, Meitel Raz – The Zebra and Journey to the Moon, Tadeusz Wierzbicki – Tra). She concentrates on the visual forms of the presentations and their correspondence with the themes involved. The key to understanding the festival's strategy is the category of “overcalibrated” forms and concepts involved with puppet theater.
