Abstract: Krista Bonello Rutter Giappone met up with Theatre Anon’s Liliana Portelli and Pierre Stafrace to discuss ancient and contemporary puppetry. Puppetry is an ancient performing art, with diverse origins and traditions all over the world. Theatre Anon started using puppets in their very first production – Voltaire’s Candide, in 1994. The company draws upon eastern and western traditions of puppetry, from shadow puppets (for example, in Agamemnon in 2006) to tabletop puppets and everything in-between. They have spent decades researching and experimenting. [excerpt]
