Movement in different ways
A marionette is operated differently from a glove puppet. See how the construction makes movement possible, and ask for unfamiliar parts to be explained if guidance is available during your appointment.
A figure for the stage
Marionettes by Jaap Wigersma and material relating to Faust are mentioned. The theatrical context matters: appearance, posture and scale gain meaning from the way a figure is used.
Shadow as image
Shadow play offers yet another form, in which silhouette and light play a part. Combined with the other puppets, it allows comparison without your having to expect a full performance.
Before you go
