EU-Kultur: The Sugarkneaded - Der aus Zucker Geknetete (griechisches Puppentheater)

Emmanouela Kapokaki, an artist with all manner of awards, distinctions and international collaborations to her credit, continues her personal exploration of the relationship between actor and puppet. 
A fairytale from the Mani in the Southern Peloponnese,

She plays Tarò, a woman who moulds her beloved—a life-size puppet— exactly as she wants him out of edible materials. But reality will be harsh on the young lovers who dare to turn their backs on their conservative society. 
Three-dimensional figures, mechanical toys, Muppet show puppet, finger and glove-puppets create a magical atmosphere which captivates and entertains the audience.
Based on Mani's traditional faitytale "Taro and the Sugarkneaded", transcribed by Athena Biniou.
