In a cross-genre mix of dance, show and puppet show, French choreographer Martin Harriague’s Of Prophets and Puppets tells of power, manipulation and the influence of the media in the play of fact and fiction. In the format of a talk show, the piece illustrates in an exaggerated way how we humans rob ourselves of our own naturalness and become puppets, on whose strings both others and we ourselves so willingly pull. In the process, Harriague uses the tools of choreography and dance theater to stage a fictional encounter between the two iconic figures of Greta Thunberg and Donald Trump.
