A Look Back Through the Archives: Issue 1 of Puppet Notebook
Exploring the Origins of BrUNIMA’s Magazine with Insightful Contributions from Shadow Theatre Pioneers
Welcome as we take a moment to look back through the archives at our very first issue. In this inaugural edition, we introduced readers to the world of Shadow Theatre through thoughtful articles, interviews, and expert insights. Here’s a quick revisit to the artists and writers who helped set the tone for the magazine:
Contributors to Issue 1:
Ajka Kostelova explored the haunting beauty of "Švankmajer's Feast".
Hermione Kontogoula brought a unique perspective to "The Cave".
Diana Bayliss offered a deep dive into "The Shadow's Other Side".
A fascinating interview with Andras Lenart of Mikropodium (Hungary) took us behind the scenes of one of Europe’s leading shadow puppetry companies.
Ray DaSilva compiled an extensive bibliography on shadow theatre, providing invaluable resources for further study.
This issue marked the beginning of Puppet Notebook as a space for critical thinking, creativity, and conversation around the art of puppetry. With 32 glossy pages, packed with photographs and in-depth features, it remains a testament to the rich tradition and future of this unique art form.
