Ebook: Contemporary Puppetry and Criticism

Contemporary puppetry has been transgressing its own limits for decades by continuously expanding and getting more prolific. On that journey, active viewers and critics represent the necessary interlocutors and final co-authors of the performance - the aforementioned premises form the basis of the book Contemporary Puppetry and Criticism. In the first part of the book, the authors provide a theoretical and historical approach to puppetry in Croatia, Slovenia, Scotland and Lithuania, while the second part focuses on criticism and the critics. In order not to dwell merely on ideas, the book is complemented by examples of reviews created at workshops of the Creative Europe project "EU Contemporary Puppetry Critical Platform", this book being one of the outcomes of the project. Thus conceptualized, the book represents a possible basis for further dialogues and interweaving of contemporary puppetry expression and theory, that is, criticism.
