Where did you get that show? A field guide to object theatre by Agnès Limbos and Veronika Marbardi, translated by Eleanor Margolies.
How are childhood memories, the smell of coffee and May 1968 connected? How are politics and power brought together in a found object, something picked up in a charity shop and placed on a table in front of an audience? How do we create a world through these small objects?
“It is a magnificent book – filled with captivating images, inspiring texts, excellent prompts for future enactments, detailed accounts of productions. I would thoroughly recommend it not only to aspiring object theatre practitioners but also to any puppeteer who wishes to write about their own practice.”
– Professor Matthew Isaac Cohen, University of Connecticut.
“This book is a gift for object and puppet theatre makers, theatre and performance designers and anyone who is interested in how an artist thinks, makes, and lives their practice. […] Even though the book only focuses on one body of work, the generosity, clarity and open invitations make it a significant contribution to the field of Object Theatre and material based performance practices.”
– Richard Allen, Wimbledon College of Art, review in Theatre and Performance Design.
