Jim Henson interview Ans and Henk Boerwinkel.

A dim light illuminated a small theatre in which enigmatic characters with slow, deliberate movements evolved and metamorphosed, without words, without music, just a few sounds – wind, whistling, a groan, or the barking of a dog. Only images and movement, puppets in a pure state.

The next day, I went back to the theatre, to see the same show where Henk and her wife Ans taught me to focus on a new concept of puppetry and marionettes.

Dear Henk, I remember the first time I met Ans, about 30 years ago, at the FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE TEATRE DE TITELLES DE BARCELONA, directed by Josep Mª Carbonell;  it was on the stage of the Regina Theatre, the same theatre where five years later I had the great honor to present my show “Anthology” for a month in Barcelona.”
