Puppets and the Avantgarde Brand / Girringun Art Centre creating original and productive workWhen a puppet breaks the "fourth wall" that is, the capacity for emotional involvement of a successful performance it wins the trust of the audience, giving the show the power to blur the division between stage and world, between art and life.
