In search for creative individuality

Summary/Abstract: We are living in an age when, craving for spectacular effects, the public has an increasing desire to see what an artist can do on the stage all by himself. In such circumstances, attributes like multilateral capacities, mastery of several talents and skills, “total actor” cannot be overlooked by anybody who is trained in becoming such an artist. I think that, in puppetry, the equivalent of that ideal actor, called by some „total actor”, is the recital show puppeteer. It would not be an easy task to try a thorough classification of this sort of histrionic art as newer and more specific ways of expression are constantly emerging. This art is hard to define. And yet, there is one particular trait of all puppeteers: the need to stand out, to be innovative. Soloist puppeteers use a variety of means to get to the heart of their audience and to impress them. The above lines reinforce the idea that the soloist puppeteer aims at being boundary free in his shows.
