Puppets in the French Style
Description
The celebrated French puppeteers Compagnie Philippe Genty demonstrate their artistry with several different kinds of figures, ranging from the human to the dreamlike. This program features sketches that explore the nature of the puppet experience and are tuned exactly to being viewed within the film rectangle. These "puppets" go far beyond the idea of non-human actors; they have their own sound effects, may overcome their masters, and usually do the completely unexpected.
