Beautiful, Truth, Imaginary in the art of puppet theater - THE INSECT CIRCUS by String Theater

Summary/Abstract: One of the shows invited to attend the 14th Edition of the Iași International Theater Festival for Young Audiences (FITPTI), outstanding performance with classic short string puppetry, was performed at the Small Hall of the Luceafărul Theater by String Theater from Great Britain. The London Company relies on the charm of the long strings animating techniques for puppets, maneuvered (manipulated) from a height. The Company started the activity in London, 2011, the founders are Soledad Zarate and Stan Middleton, descendants of several generations of artists specializing in the management and promotion of this type of theater, with Elizabethan roots and fresh puppet infusions. The Insect Circus is a gem show, a demonstration of mastery in the art of puppet handling. A performance that overturns prejudices related to this type of theater, but also a sample of good practice, an example of how the tenderness and clumsiness of these irresistible actors on strings can be enhanced.
