Prasin Aloga (Visual Puppet Theatre Prasin Aloga)
The Puppet Theater of Fine Arts “Prassein Aloga” was founded in 1997 by Emmanuela Kapokaki, a graduate of the Higher School of Puppet Theater (Charleville-Mezières, France) with a scholarship from the Onassis Foundation. It offers a performance combining puppets and actors, departing from traditional puppet theater. Its performances approach the audience in a manner different from conventional theater, utilizing the language of imagery, symbolism, and archetypes, presenting an original spectacle that combines the actions of both actors and puppets for both children and adult audiences. Its puppets are created using various techniques with an emphasis on artistic expression.
It has produced 15 theatrical productions. Since 2000, it has received funding from the Ministry of Culture and the Hellenic Center of Theatrical Research (E.KE.THE.CH.). Its productions have been supported by the Institutes of France, Denmark, and Spain (CERVANTES), the General Secretariat for Youth, the Municipality of Athens, the Prefecture of Athens, the Onassis Foundation’s House of Letters and Arts, and other educational institutions, as well as Patakis Publishing. It has collaborated with ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation) on children’s television programs. The company has directed a children’s performance for the SYN-EPI group and has worked with the Neos Kosmos Theater and the Porta Theater in puppet construction and training. It organizes puppet seminars for children and adults and tours schools, municipalities, and cultural institutions throughout Greece.
