Artists Donovan Zimmerman and Jan Burger create large scale puppets as well as small puppet shows to promote change in their community. They have been a part of many large national protests but moved the focus of their work to a local level after a number of disappointing events. They work from a studio in Saxapahaw, NC. They present a major show each summer in the Forest Theater in Chapel Hill and at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. For more information go to www.paperhand.org.

This type of puppetry is an a amazingly beautiful subject, and a unique communication tool that is obviously powerful and misunderstood.
Job well done.

Wanted to see the Insect show in CH this past weekend and was sad to see it rained out!

It's really disturbing to see how puppetry was suppressed at the Republican National Convention in 2000 and to realize that I didn't know this until now.

My first real job as a teen was as a hand and rod puppeteer. Great work guys, and fascinating film, Mark.
