The Puppeteer

Description: The Puppeteer captures the art of Igor Fokin, an extraordinarily talented artist and performer whose stage was a street corner in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When Igor arrived in America from the stifling confines of the former Soviet Union, he spoke very little English, had few resources and no job prospects. Formally trained by the last surviving master of the pre-Revolutionary Russian Marionette Theater in St. Petersberg Russia, he was finally free to pursue his passion. With the tilt of a wrist and the fllick of a finger, he magically breathed life into each of his hand-carved marionettes, captivating the imagination of both adults and children.
