Focuses on puppet imagery in contemporary art. Takes as its historic point of departure one of the first episodes of avant-garde art history: Alfred Jarry’s 1896 puppet play Ubu Roi, which the South African artist William Kentridge, in collaboration with the Handspring Puppet Company, has adapted into an allegory of apartheid.
