The Varied Approaches of Directors and Theorists to the Puppet Idiom
Teodora Vigato
; Zadar
Sažetak
The author’s point of departure in this paper is the monograph Puppet for Theatre and Soul of Luko Paljetak, in which the poet has summed up his thoughts about puppetry, referring to puppeteering experience, working on the whole in the Zadar Puppet Theatre. His theoretical postulates are compared with the post-modern reflections of Jan Wilkowski, Polish puppetry theorist and puppeteer who has put the puppet both in front of and behind the screen. And while Paljetak carefully hid the animator behind the screen, Jan Wilkowski has self-referentially examined the possibilities for and limits of the guignol type of puppetry, and the main heroes in his drama Guignol in Trouble are the puppet Guignol and the puppeteer Jean, live actor. The performance has been successfully presented in all Croatian puppet theatres. Sunny Sunninsky, Bulgarian guest director in the Zadar Puppet Theatre, has gone a step further from all puppet canons to date and has replaced the doll with cloth or objects. He transmitted object puppets directly from the Bulgarian puppetry tradition to Zadar, where they were well received and shows with puppets of this kind were kept on the repertoire for more than twenty days.
