The art of puppetry has been used successfully for years, and in various parts of the world. In Venezuela, experiences are scarce and almost unknown. However, at the Maracay Psychiatric Clinic, this work began in August 2005.
27 people between the ages of 17 and 75 took part.
Puppets were built and a performance was made.
It was supported by the Ministry of Culture, the IAEM, the Sectoral Secretariat of Culture and the Government of the State of Aragua.
