“The Life of the Marionettes” by Teodor Borisov is a puppet–marionette performance exploring the fragile boundary between freedom and choice.
Through poetic imagery and movement, it presents eight independent etudes about characters searching for their own voice. The stories blend humor, melancholy, and philosophical reflections on destiny and the desire to be truly alive.
Among them are the aging clown Toto, two Roman soldiers reacting differently to a flower, a ballerina who dies on stage, and Pierrot, who reveals that someone is always pulling the strings.
