Sori in the Land of Lembuna Performance by Flying Balloons Puppet and Gwen Knox presenting a discourse of river habitat polution phenomenon packed as explorative and imaginative. Analytical method ...done with hypersemiotic perspective which qualitative interpretative. The review on signs that were present in the performance is done with hypersemiotic perspective. Hypersemiotic perspective analysis used are content of recycled signs that were present in the performance. Lembuna is a character representing the myth of Lembudana and Lembudini, as a past reality, recontextualized into present reality in the form of a Plastic Monster as a representative of environmental pollution from plastic wastes piling up in the river ecosystem.

Ion Creangă’s work has been and remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists in the field of audiovisual arts. His entire creation from Childhood Memories to more meaningful stories ...form a specific world full of heroes involved in the great Theatrum mundi. In our Republic, Creangă’s works saw the limelight in 1957 for the first time with the story Harap Alb, staged by Constantin Ilinschi at the Licurici Theatre. Then, there were the stories Ivan Turbinca (staged in 1972 by I. Stihi), Dănilă Prepeleac (1983, Gh. Urschi), The Purse with Two Pence (1986, L. Cibotaru), The Old Man’s Daughter and the Old Women’s Daughter (2007, T. Zhukov). But the most successful show is considered Harap Alb (1978), stage version and scenography by Ion Puiu, directed by Titus Zhukov. The show Ivan Turbinca (1989) based on Ion Creangă’s story of the same name, was at thebasis of the formation of the new puppet theater Guguţă. In puppet shows, we discover a special world of Ion Creangă’s work. And if from a literary perspective Creanga’s work has been and continues to be studied from different points of view, then the theatrical dimension is a less analyzed field.
Abstract Arts can provide an alternative to violence and the opportunity to give a voice to the oppressed. Music, arts and theatre can become acts of defiance, a form of resistance, or a simple ...bridge of reconciliation. Creativity in arts give the community the opportunity to exceed certain boundaries and urges the individuals to see the potential in them and in the whole world. We will analize, therefore, the relations between theatre and war, trying to analize contemporary examples of global conflict zones: theatrical protests against war, performances by refugees and the impact of these in education. Using theatre as a form of awareness of human rights, we are not educating only the audience – we also lead to public awareness, empathy and people-to-people relationships. The vision of a theatre that connects thoughts, feelings and actions represents a powerfull symbol of a democratic society. Theatre, as the most public of art forms, embracing the other arts under it’s hat, can become a form of remodeling a society, using our imagination.
Purpose: The study investigates the impact of motivation, sensation-seeking, constraint, and attitude on visit intention and stage of readiness associated with a folk theatre, specifically the ...Bharata People Theatre.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The collected data includes 260 participants in Jakarta using a convenient sampling method. We analysed the collected data through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The study tested various hypotheses related to the influence of motivation, sensation-seeking, constraint, and attitude on visit intention and stage of readiness.
Findings: The results showed significant relationships between motivation and attitude, motivation and visit intention, sensation-seeking and visit intention and attitude and visit intention. However, the study did not find a significant relationship between constraint and visit intention, motivation and readiness, sensation-seeking and readiness or attitude and readiness.
Research, Practical & Social implications: This study contributes to the current knowledge of marketing folk theatres, specifically the Bharata People Puppet Theatre. The study emphasises the significance of motivation, sensation-seeking, and attitude in influencing visitors’ intentions to attend cultural performances. However, the non-significant relationships between constraint and readiness and between attitude and readiness suggest the need for a better understanding of the factors affecting visitors’ readiness to engage in cultural performances.

The concept of systemic puppet therapy proposed by the authors is described. Therapeutic work with puppets is a promising method of psychological assistance as part of rehabilitation processes. Its ...insufficient use is due to its low structurality. The phased application of morphological analysis and synthesis made it possible to streamline the known and develop new effective methods of puppet therapy. The proposed systemic puppet therapy is an ordered polymodal set of static (lining on the table or on the floor of a puppet arranged set) and dynamic (presenting history on behalf of the puppet or staging a performance) methods, individual and group methods, face-to-face and remote forms of work, algorithms for their choice.The size, material and design of puppets, quantitative and qualitative composition of their therapeutic set are justified.

Although Carolingian epics are at the heart of the traditional Liège puppet repertoire, they remain a little explored field of research. This essay focuses on two epics, Les quatre fils ...Aymon and Huon de Bordeaux, which serve as case studies to examine the transition from narrative to dramatic text and its transposition for the regional puppet stage. Following the stories from the,annotated novels to the modern plays, the first part shows how the dramatisation of the prose text gradually developed. The second part examines the creation process of staging the story of the paladins of France from the point of view of regional identification, focusing on the role of Tchantchès, the typical character of the Liège puppet theatre.
