I have long admired the skill required both to make and operate Bunraku puppets and come upon this video quite by accident. You have, through simpler puppets, borrowed from the ancient art and created something very new. I would love to see you perform live sometime. Well done!
Amazing work. I am hoping to start puppet making classes on my property next year with the ultimate hope of creating a puppet theater much like what you are doing. I don't have much experience but one starts with a dream. You have given me inspiration and an insight into where i wish to go,, Thank you,
Puppeteering at one of it's best forms. Congratulations Carol and John !! Highly meditative in quality, John's narration helps in creating a sublime background music with his passionate voice so to say, which resonates and unites us with the character spiritually. Great job indeed. Carol, on the other hand, creates a visual wave which helps us transcend into a world of Greater Truth. As a Puppeteer, I can appreciate the intense love for the characters, be it serene or funny, without which you fail to communicate and only deceive self. Thank you. I personally rate you as a great Puppeteer. I'm Subhasis Sen, director, Tal-Betal Puppet Theatre, Kolkata, West-Bengal, India.
Thank you so much for this wonderful, powerful theater. You both acted it with the delicacy of eye surgery. Your 'projections' seem extrapolated from the human soul. What is seen, yourselves, the puppets, you present to our senses, then you lead us to the metaphysical gate to what is not so readily seen, which guides us much like you do with your puppets. Let me quote Stanley Cavell "With thinking we may be beside ourselves in a sane sense...I know only myself as human entity; the scene, so to speak, of thoughts and affections; and am sensible of a certain doubleness by which I can stand as remote from myself as from another." Again; thankyou for daring to bring the profound to therapy and to do so under the proscenium arch. Many blessings.
Wonderful work. I love the integration of puppet and mask. It's obvious that you belong to the second camp! "You do not wear the mask - the mask wears you." roger in singapore
Hi, Thank you for sharing this amazing performance. I want to cite this in a paper but can't find John and Carol's sir names any where. Can anyone share this with me so I can get the citation correct? Many thanks

Does anybody know the name of the Comanche story that 'She Who Loves' is based on and if I can read it anywhere? Thanks!
