Puppetry brings dreams to lifc
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Shadow puppetry brings to life the im
agery of dreams.
The Lampoon Puppettheatre of Toronto
brought dreams to life m their production of
The Princess in. the Iron Tower at the Huron
Country Playhouse at Grand Bend.
It was one of a series of productions aimed
at children held last week at the playhouse.
The two people behind Lampoon, Mar-
janka Vrabcova and Johan Vandergun have
made a living of travelling around Canada
and the globe putting on their productions at
schools, fairs and libraries.
Vrabcova has been interested in puppetry
since a child. Her formal education in the
arts took place at the University of Prague
in her home country of Czechoslovakia. She
has been working professionally since 1966.
She says European puppet theatre is far
superior to what is in Canada but adds there
has been improvement over the past
number of years. The only thing she is
dissatisified about in Canada is the relega-
tion of puppetry to children's theatre.
"The Muppets have made puppetry ac-
ceptable" she says but adds there is room
for more acceptability among adults.
Vandergun too has been interested in pup-
petry since he was a child.
"I was about four years old when I made
my first puppet," he says.
He says working in puppetry is like doing
a hobby full time.
For 10 -year-old Sarah Patterson of Grand
Bend, puppetry is her favorite of all
methods of drama. She has seen every pro-
duction for the children that the playhouse
sponsored. The young girl came to the two
players to get their autograph and ended up
staying to help them prepare for the
workshop which followed the production.
