About Puppets, Masks and Performing Objects

Puppets and masks are central to some of the oldest worldwide forms of art making and performance, as well as some of the newest. In the 20th century, French symbolists, Russian futurists and constructivists, Prague School semioticians and avant-garde artists around the world have all explored the experimental, social and political value of performing objects. In recent years, puppets, masks and objects have been the focus of Broadway musicals, postmodernist theory, political spectacle, performance art and new academic programs, for example, at the California Institute of the Arts. This volume looks at puppets, masks and other performing objects from a broad range of perspectives. The topics include Stephen Kaplin’s new theory of puppet theater based on distance and ratio, a historical overview of mechanical and electrical performing objects, a Yiddish puppet theater of the 1920s and 1930s, an account of the Bread and Puppet Theater’s Domestic Resurrection Circus and a manifesto by its founder, Peter Schumann, and interviews with director Julie Taymor and Peruvian mask-maker Gustavo Boada. The book also includes the first English translation of Pyotr Bogatyrev’s influential 1923 essay on Czech and Russian puppet and folk theater.
