The Real and the Virtual in the Puppet Theater

Summary/Abstract: The author describes a few plays performed at this year’s 25th International Puppet Art Festival in Bielsko-Biała, including Klaus Obermaier, Frank Soehnle, and the Finnish WHS group. She takes the concept of the matrix as a shared point of departure – she describes plays that build parallel worlds, so that the illusion they create captures the viewer in a multimedia network. The puppet shows described are not only based on animating dolls, but cross into the present day, as represented by the new media.
