The marionette operator is not the puppet itself, but what good is a guy hidden in the rafters above the stage with nothing attached to his strings?
The shorter the strings between the puppet and the operator, the better that the puppet reflects the operator's intent. The strings have been shortened so much, that they are no longer there. The marionette act has become a ventriloquism show; the operator is no longer hidden, and manipulates the puppet by direct contact, no strings attached! ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!
