This documentary surveys revolutionary new developments in American puppet theater, profiling many of puppetry’s most imaginative contemporary artists such as Basil Twist, who uses bits of fabric, feathers, plastic and other materials in a 1,000-gallon tank of water to create a visually stunning underwater ballet; Michael Curry, who discusses the masks and puppets he created for the Broadway production of The Lion King, as well as the Super Bowl and the Olympics; and Ralph Lee, who founded the famous Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. The video concludes by discussing the new directions and new ideas in puppetry and the ways it is transforming opera, music, theater and dance
