The Puppeteer Recital - A Performative Method Having a Complex Specific Nature

Summary/Abstract: The recital is the core of the puppeteer art. Whoever does not understand the special nature of the puppeteer recital cannot understand, either, the autonomous language of the art to which we are referring. To approach the puppeteer recital in terms of dramatic art would be a mistake. If in the dramatic art the word is the essential tool, in puppetry the instrument through which communication is achieved is the puppet, the mask, the marionette, the animated object. The focus of the artist who aims to interpret a puppeteer recital will be on the handling systems that will be used by the puppeteer in order to obtain the most meaningful expression possible and to perform several characters onstage simultaneously. Therefore, we believe that a classification of these recitals should be made not only according to the text of departure, but especially to the type of puppet, mask or animated object that the puppeteer employs.
