In preparation for their performance, Désolé Proletar, members of Sono Figures present music and puppetry concepts to an audience, in a fully experimental and conceptual space.
This exercise continues to ask the question: what is sound puppetry?

Kumulus Morpho – Bådteatret/Ubåden (DK)
18-20 April 2023
Two musicians dive headfirst into the world of musical puppet theater. Their self-built puppets transform their shape throughout the piece – from body, to instrument, to apparatus – tied together by non-verbal sound worlds from voices, objects and electronics.
The piece creates a peculiar, poetic, searching world.
What forces shape the identity of the continually re-composed puppets? Does the sound have power over the movements we see, or is it the other way around? Who has power over the bodies and the sounds they make?
