Vojtina Puppet Theatre Launches a Series of Exhibitions

Vojtina Puppet Theatre 13 Kálvin Square, Debrecen, Hungary

Artistic director Terka Láposi, the permanent curator of the exhibitions, invited artists and craftspeople who regularly help Vojtina to reflect on the secrets of the creative process, and who are all connected to puppets and puppetry. First, an exhibition of the works of Krisztina Csatáry-Nagy, the permanent photographer of the puppet theatre, will open on the  24th of  September in the exhibition space of the puppet theatre in Kálvin Square.  As a photographer, she has been following the life, performances and events of the Puppet Theatre for almost a decade, so the exhibition is a kind of documentation of the professional work and everyday life of the Puppet Theatre. She believes that she can create, to capture a moment authentically, when she gives herself completely to those who allow her to open up layers of herself to them. To stretch out a single image in an ideal moment, to extract it from the whole, requires total surrender. It takes time, it takes preparation. She wants to capture the real perceived state, feeling, mood. Her theatrical images are visual representations of the performances.  Date: from 24 September Location:  Exhibition space of the Puppet Theatre in Kálvin Square.  Source:dehir.hu
