“With the sound of musical instruments from India, carried by the voice of the musician, the marionnettes perform with grace and precision. The public is filled with wonder with the shining golden costumes and with the art of handling these marionnettes. The dancer, the amazing fakir, and the skillful juggler, were so magical that the young spectators couldn't help but consider them to be real people while adults went into boundless ecstasy. The Hippocampe Théâtre Company captured the attention of hundreds spectators during their hour of performance."

“What is amazing in this puppet-show from Rajastan, directed by Marie-Laure Boggio, is the utter effect of magic on the audience. It is a show complete with laughter, emotion and music. Karim Amari knows how to associate Indian musical instruments with others from North Africa. The way he sings the story is like a gentle threnody leading us into the world of dreams and when the marionnettes appear, the audience is carried into a world of enchantment where we forget that they are wooden dolls. The expert handling of the marionettes makes them come alive and we are astonished when the magician juggles with his head! A show that fills all our senses with wonder. "
