Tiivistelmä
Ilka Schönbein is one of the most famous independent puppeteer and her art is peopled by strange disturbing creatures. She is dealing with the dark side of human beings. It is inherent in her art.
I will base my work on Ilka Schönbein’s show My own flesh and Blood. It is a puppet show for adults based on a novel of Aglaja Veteranyi titled Why the child was cooking in polenta.
My aim is to show that through puppets and monstrosity Ilka Schönbein is reaching our soul. I would like to answer the question: What monsters tell us about humans?
The inner questions are: Why do we need monsters? Why do we want to see monsters in theater? Why do we need to face them?
