Passport to Puppetry

Obscure 1995-era "behind the scenes" look at the legendary Salzburg Marionette Theatre and Frau Doktor Gretl Aicher, third in a hereditary line of puppetmasters, now deceased. She had no other choice and no other wish. The troupe continues to perform magnificently in her absence. "The puppeteer must be a comedian. He must think like a comedian, like a miming comedian. And he must lose himself in his work. Otherwise this profession is utterly impossible." No copyright notice or production information appears on file beyond perfunctory crew credits.
