About
In this episode, Jim interviews the world-renowned French puppeteer, Philippe Genty. Together they delve into the philosophy behind his evocative work, which utilises a variety of puppetry and performance techniques to explore universal themes with whimsy, pathos and humour. Henson says that Genty’s puppets are “symbols on which the audience can place their own interpretation”.
Ages 15+ | Contains mature themes and stylised nudity
