In 1929 a few people with a passion for puppetry from only seven countries formed l’Union Internationale de la Marionnette (UNIMA) to promote and develop the art form. I joined UNIMA about 1970 to help satisfy my lifelong fascination with puppets. Now, thanks to the Internet, we can instantaneously connect thousands of likeminded people across national, political and religious boundaries around the world. Recorded programs, performances, conferences, classes and workshops are available around the clock and some are streamed in real time. Academic papers, publications and photographs pop up at a touch on the keyboard. This increased popularity beyond our wildest dreams offers innumerable opportunities to form international coalitions to work together towards our goal of mutual understanding through puppetry. Puppetry developed in virtually every part of the world. Now hundreds of hours of documentation available on the Internet make many traditional forms accessible. UNESCO recognized twelve of these as representing Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). Information, slides, and video footage of them can be seen on its web site. At least eleven additional traditions involving puppetry can be viewed on the Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre Database. Hopefully, viewers are tantalized to delve into the complexity of the performances and the depths of their communal roots. We can utilize traditional puppetry to reveal the common humanity underlying our cultural differences. One tradition of traditional art is change, so documentation plays an important role. After nearly forty years of dedication by hundreds of us puppetry enthusiasts, UNIMA posted an updated Encylopédie Mondiale des Arts de la Marionnette, published in 2009, on its web site in three languages, English and Spanish as well as French. It puts the history of puppetry at our fingertips. It serves as a significant tool for the numerous museums around the world, which have acquired puppet collections, and the several others dedicated exclusively to the art form. Their collections and catalogs can be found online. Some are experimenting with 3-D imagery and replication for educational purposes. Facilitated by communication on the Internet, preservation of history contributes to future development. Hundreds of contemporary puppeteers from around the world post excerpts of their live performances on the Internet to attract audiences and presenters. UNIMA sponsors live performances, festivals, conferences and publications and posts coverage on its web site. As intended by the small founding group, the current membership of UNIMA, from over ninety nations cooperate, regardless of differences. With the exponential growth of exposure comes increased responsibility to our audiences and each other. Let us celebrate World Puppetry Day together as friends with shared dedication to the art form by posting the festivities on the Internet, which truly unites us!

SVJETSKI DAN LUTKARSTVA, 21. OŽUJKA 2017. PORUKA Nancy Lohman Staub Godine 1929. nekoliko zaljubljenika u lutkarstvo iz samo sedam zemalja osnovalo je udrugu l’Union Internationale de la Marionnette (UNIMA) s ciljem promicanja i razvoja lutkarske umjetnosti. Ja sam se u UNIMA-u učlanila oko 1970. godine, očarana lutkama otkad pamtim. Danas, zahvaljujući internetu, možemo u trenutku povezati tisuće istomišljenika iz cijelog svijeta, bez obzira na nacionalne granice, političke i vjerske razlike. Na internetu su 24 sata dnevno dostupni snimljeni programi, predstave, konferencije, tečajevi i radionice, a neki se čak emitiraju uživo. Dovoljan je jedan pritisak na tipkovnicu da se na ekranu pojave akademski radovi, publikacije i fotografije. Rast popularnosti o kakvom nismo ni sanjali nudi nebrojene mogućnosti formiranja međunarodnih saveza koji će zajednički raditi na ostvarenju našeg cilja: uzajamnog razumijevanja putem lutkarstva. Lutkarstvo se razvilo gotovo u svakom kutku svijeta. Zahvaljujući stotinama sati dokumentacije na internetu, dostupne su brojne tradicionalne forme. UNESCO je njih dvanaest priznao kao nematerijalnu kulturnu baštinu. Na njegovoj mrežnoj stranici nalaze se informacije, prezentacije i videomaterijali o toj baštini. U bazi podataka Kulturnog centra Azije i Pacifika (Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre Database) možete naći barem još jedanaest tradicija koje uključuju lutkarstvo. Nadamo se da čitatelji neće moći a da ne urone u bogatstvo izvedbi i dubine njihovih društvenih korijena. Tradicionalno lutkarstvo možemo iskoristiti kako bismo otkrili zajedničku ljudskost koja leži ispod naših kulturnih razlika. Promjene su jedna od tradicija tradicionalne umjetnosti, pa važnu ulogu ima dokumentiranje. Nakon gotovo četrdeset godina predanog rada nas nekoliko stotina entuzijasta za lutkarstvo, UNIMA je na svojoj mrežnoj stranici objavila Svjetsku enciklopediju lutkarske umjetnosti (Encylopédie Mondiale des Arts de la Marionnette), objavljenu 2009. godine, na tri jezika: engleskom, španjolskom i francuskom, dovodeći nam povijest lutkarstva nadohvat ruke. Enciklopedija je važno pomagalo za brojne muzeje širom svijeta koji u fundusu imaju zbirke lutaka te za nekoliko muzeja koji su posvećeni isključivo toj umjetnosti. Njihove zbirke i katalozi mogu se naći na internetu. Neki eksperimentiraju s 3D slikama i replikacijom u obrazovne svrhe. Potpomognuto komunikacijom putem interneta, očuvanje povijesne baštine pridonosi budućem razvoju. Stotine suvremenih lutkara iz cijelog svijeta objavljuju dijelove svojih nastupa uživo na internetu kako bi privukli publiku i izvođače. UNIMA sponzorira izvedbe uživo, festivale, konferencije i publikacije te izvještava o njima na svojoj mrežnoj stranici. Kao što je i predvidjela mala skupina ljudi koja je osnovala UNIMA-u, njezini sadašnji članovi iz više od devedeset zemalja surađuju bez obzira na razlike. S eksponencijalnim rastom izloženosti raste i naša odgovornost prema publici i jednih prema drugima. Proslavimo Svjetski dan lutkarstva kao prijatelji sa zajedničkim oduševljenjem za tu umjetnost objavom svojih proslava na internetu, koji nas zaista povezuje!
