Puppetry invokes our deep residual instincts for the ‘primitive’ and atavistic truths of who we are but don’t always know how to, or allow ourselves, young and old alike, to access.
Puppets are versatile, elusive and enviable presences that roam effortlessly through cultural and personal territories, following the contours of our subconscious and of our dreams… alluring, disturbing, and renewing.
Puppetry will always hold our fascination because it appeals uniquely and directly to our perennial child-like desire to be surprised and delighted.
Puppets are capable of extremely subtle and sophisticated expression, from protest against the potentially devastating degradation of political, and technological fallout to the transforming heights of mankind’s compassion and dignity.
Puppetry creates a magical gateway to the imagination where its creatures and personalities inhabit, embody and integrate the full expression of the stories, metaphors, cosmologies, intuitions and enduring values we aspire to and measure ourselves by.
