Abstract

On the basis of three selected pieces from a 1991 acquisition documented by both the collector and the museum of Theatre Puppets in Lübeck (now KOLK 17), it is shown that many of the approximately 60 puppets from Mali within the collection KOLK 17 are presumably set pieces from movable animal puppet stages, a special form of costume puppets that only exist in Mali. It is shown that the terms ascribed to the objects often do not do justice to the former performing objects, since they only describe individual elements and do not take the actual performative action into account. Particularly in the case of those puppets that are animated by the physical movement of the puppet player, as is the case with costume puppets, this fragmentary view of the performing objects, which can also be encountered to an extent in the specialist literature, leads to an enormous loss of meaning. The complexity of moving animal puppet stages is demonstrated by the presentation of the versatile performance techniques and stage contexts. How the puppets from Mali within the collection KOLK 17 were actually played could not be conclusively clarified. Nevertheless, the objects could be extended to include possible contexts of use and meaning: these contexts are essential for further research.

迷失在碎片中:论如何处理来自马里的一种特殊表演形式的碎片
根据收藏家和l贝克剧院木偶博物馆(现KOLK 17) 1991年收购的三件精选作品的记录,表明在KOLK 17收藏中来自马里的大约60个木偶中,有许多可能是来自可移动动物木偶舞台的固定作品,这是一种特殊形式的服装木偶,仅存在于马里。研究表明,赋予客体的术语往往不能公正地描述先前的行为客体,因为它们只描述了单个要素,而没有考虑到实际的行为。特别是那些木偶是由木偶演员的身体运动而产生动画的,就像服装木偶一样,这种对表演对象的零碎看法,在某种程度上也可以在专业文献中遇到,导致了意义的巨大丧失。通过多种表演技巧和舞台环境的呈现,展示了动物木偶舞台的复杂性。在KOLK 17系列中,来自马里的木偶实际上是如何被演奏的还不能最终澄清。然而,这些对象可以扩展到包括可能的使用和意义背景:这些背景对进一步的研究是必不可少的。
