Censorship Forms in Animation Theatre
Censorship Forms in Animation Theatre

Summary/Abstract: A phenomenon encountered since ancient times, censorship has taken on different forms of manifestation in puppet and marionettes theatres, which have become animation theatres since 2008. The mutual influence of society on this kind of theatre has led to often virulent reactions and exposure to realities that have disturbed the leadership and the political system. As a result, the creators of this (traditional or professional) theatre area faced all the repercussions they generated, and assumed them, knowing the censorship, prohibitions, persecutions, amputations of the messages and even going to jail and paying with their life. Nowadays, censorship has different aspects, it is no longer exercised by the system, but it is under the direct analysis of the public, whose power has increased with the new media and under the encouragement of entertainment institutions, which want to be transparent and customer/public oriented, an attitude sometimes found at the fine line between artistic and commercial.
