“ Puppet players are like a human orchestra,” notes Mairivi Georgiadou, owner of Mairivi Workshop in central Athens, speaking at Athens-Macedonian news Agency.
“ They don’t only make the puppets come alive but also make the dolls themselves, turn the music and the lights on and off,” she adds.
Georgiadou is the owner of Mairivi workshop in the central area Metaxourgeio, where, ever since a month the Athenian public may admire the first permanent exhibition of puppets in Greece.
On display are dolls from Africa, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, while visitors have the opportunity to hear stories from the shows in which the dolls appeared using a headset. There are also shadow puppets from Malaysian, Indonesian as well as Greek shadow theatre.
