Figurenbau

Michael Huber creates and builds all puppets for the creations of his company personally and regularly creates puppets for the Figurentheater Margrit Gysin.

Michael Huber teaches the creation of puppets at the School for Puppet Theatre in Liestal.

“Puppets for the puppet theatre should be technically as simple as possible to allow to use full concentration on the role and the expression of the puppets in play. Puppets that are to be animated in a puppet play need a theatre soul. That is made possible only as a result of a careful creation process that grows organically throughout the rehearsals and presentations into the final puppets as the audience sees them… And yet they stay tools, tools for the creation of art, very like musical instruments.”
