I was 4-5 years old when I saw my first and last puppet show at a theater during a preschool group outing. I was enchanted, completely immersed in the fantasy world. I watched the show with my mouth wide open. Afterwards, we were invited onstage to meet the puppeteers. When I saw the lifeless puppets lying on the stage, I felt angry at the puppeteers. It’s not that I was unaware that the puppets were inanimate, but I couldn’t bear seeing them in that state nor to see my fantasy world destroyed. That was the last time I willingly watched a puppet show. This is why, generally speaking, I am not curious about “les coulisses”. Infinite Smile, Infinite Love.
