The puppet takes its place from the living folklore, it follows the traditions, and the same one creates them.The different puppets that there are in the world, respond to every time and each country according to the own necessities and those of the place.It can be an agent of propaganda between the hands of the politicians or also it can play a cultural role in first plane between the artists.The miracle of the puppet is eternal and begins its history with the one of the men.

We will find in the history of the puppets the same stages of development that in real history.The world of the puppet is like a species of theater microcosm, in which the complete history is concentrated and reflected, and in which the critical eye can, with perfect clarity, to perceive the total set of laws that regulate the advances of the world

An approach of the cultures through the puppets is possible.
These close personages can make us include/understand and accept the cultural and social diversity of the world, as well as to give us account from which at heart we are not so different, and that the humans we have such values inner, although each culture expresses them to its way

An activity that explains to us as they are the human sort, as it is the soul of the man and as we expressed ourselves.All this us they can summarize puppets that come from distant earth, and that while they make us enjoy a good short while, will make us feel near with the others.Who better than the puppets to explain it.The long history of the puppets provides many tests that they are able to present/display any subject:these fictitious beings are brought to the life by desire of the man and they move and they speak and in certain way they become human, full of life, to affect to us or to entertain to us.
