Puppeteers and Politics
Posted in Podcasts on March 22nd, 2005
Since the pyramids, there have been puppets, and since Punch, they
have been in politics. We explore one of the most exciting forces in
social change - Radical puppetry. Spearheaded by people like Peter
Schumann of Bread and Puppet Theatre and K. Ruby (rogueruby.com) of
Wise Fool Puppet Intervention, radical puppeteering is a powerful
medium for unforgettable visual statements, be it in parades,
circuses, or at the next political rally or convention. Power to the
Puppets!
