Marionetta

Maria-Elena Bonet 2017

The problem of “growing” a mask is expressed in a series of works created in the puppet theater. Puppets slumbering behind the scenes hide thousands of manifestations within themselves until someone else's hand touches them to make a response movement. Does the movement for which they are intended truly express their essence? The puppet theater attracts with its visual embodiment. Isn’t that how a person reveals his many facets in response to external circumstances that pull him by the proverbial strings, forcing him to reveal his depth and make a choice? What must happen to a person for him to see his true self?
