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 1, French, - marionnettiste
