Does mask work help to achieve detachment in acting? How does the analysis of human and animal movement inform the puppeteer? Jacques Lecoq often challenged students to analyze, «which object theatre does this object create?» How can the study of each object’s dynamics push the student to question the place of the actor on stage?
Discover Yngvild Aspeli’s approach to puppetry and theatre direction, where the power of images, the relevance of text, and the precision of manipulation opens the door to a new «theatre of cruelty.»
