The author speaks about animated puppet being a part of the theatre art. The eminent drama writer and theatre philosophes have given it their thoughts and opinions: Samuel Foote, Heinrich von Kleis, Gordon Edward Craig. They considered being an important part of the theatre while animated by the puppeteers. The author enumerates various types of puppet-players: puppeteer nugget, puppeteer professional, educated in the theatre school. The last one ignores often importance of the puppet and he dismisses it by his own presence. The author proposes in his place another player that is puppeteer-performer, who is conscious of the creative energy existing in each material (puppet included) and is wishing to demonstrate this energy and to serve it.
