Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Puppet versions of Strindberg's "A Dream Play"?


Hello. There was an exhibition of Felix Mirbt's puppets at the last
Casteliers Festival (March, 2009) here in Montreal. They were wonderful -
reminded me of the drawings of George Grosz - but I learned of his work
after his death. He seems to have influenced many people here, including the
members of the Theatre de la Pire Espece. I can ask around about his Dream
Play...
