Subject: the collective puppet unconscious






You know, for years I thought that doing a production of Faust for puppets
would be the greatest idea.  Of course some of you are snickering by now
because, as I have learned, Faust is oft-produced for puppets as well as in
other medias (this point being well driven-in by Jan Svanmejer's incredible
film version of Faust.)  This has not changed my plans to eventually do a
production of Faust, they've only altered and become more challenging.
Everybody needs their own Faust, I've decided.

So, I was wondering, are there other texts that seem to appear over and
over again as puppet productions?  I'm especially interested in texts which
originated in other medias and made the bridge to puppetry.  I'm interested
in all texts which make the crossing, adult and children's drama.  I'm
already starting my own research, but some prods in the right direction
might help.

This is certainly not time-critical information, so take some time to
ponder it.  I'll one day use this information for something great, but I'm
not sure what it is yet.

keep on manipulating,

Joel
