The puppeteer may be visible to or hidden from the audience. A puppeteer can operate a puppet indirectly by the use of strings, rods, wires, electronics or directly by his or her own hands placed inside the puppet or holding it externally or any other part of the body, such as the legs. Some puppet styles require two or more puppeteers to work together to create a single puppet character. 1, record 2, English, - puppeteer

Un marionnettiste est d'abord un artiste qui, caché dans l'ombre d'un rideau, fait danser, mouvoir ses personnages, fantaisistes et drôles à la fois. Il a l'art de les manier avec dextérité, en synchronisant leur mouvement avec la voix. S'en remettant à un scénario clair et limpide […] le marionnettiste esquisse un récit à rebondissement qui enchante et fait frissonner à la fois le jeune public. 1, record 2, French, - marionnettiste
