Keywords: Caragiale; puppetry show; mimic puppets

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the idea of creating a puppetry show using a dramatic text written by I.L. Caragiale, we are presenting in this article some stages of the transformation of a virtual project published in our doctoral thesis, in a show, giving arguments for the puppetry characteristics of the dramatic text. We are talking about our own way of acting the comedy A Lost Letter with puppets. The event is now unique on the Romanian stages and it equally marks the performance for the bachelor degree of the 2011 graduate class from the ”George Enescu” University of Arts. Our performance was very well received at the International Festival of Acting Schools CLASSFEST from Chisinău, in the Republic of Moldavia, which made it possible to be selected to participate to the International Festival of Acting and Movie Hyperion, 10th edition, Bucharest, where it won the Special Prize of the Jury.
