Puppet theater

Abstract

Puppet theater is a theatrical spectacle in which puppets act. Usually, the actors who control the puppets are hidden from the audience. But recently, “live” puppet theater has become widespread, that is, when the audience can see how the process of controlling the puppets takes place. With the help of dolls, actors convey the traits of human character, forms of behavior. They put important information or even social manifestos in the “mouths” of the dolls. There are the following types of puppet theatre: theater where puppets are gloved, demonstration of plays most often takes place above a screen that covers the actors, puppet theaters, where puppets move with the help of strings or wire, and the actors controlling them are in most cases above them, theaters where the puppets are not above and the actors are not below, theater of shadows, theatrical spectacles of the nativity scene.
