PUPPETS AND VENTRILOQUISM



Hand puppets conveying deep emotions, the art of puppetry relies on visible or hidden manipulation to imbue figures with character and story, often captivating audiences with visually rich narratives. Ventriloquism, on the other hand, achieves its enchantment through the masterful deception of sound; the performer creates the illusion that their voice originates from an unmoving dummy or prop, all while keeping their own lips still, requiring immense vocal control and precise articulation to craft believable dialogues between the artist and their "speaking" companion.
