Manuel Morán is seeking support for production and post-production costs for a three part documentary series intended for English and Spanish language public television about puppetry in the Hispanic Caribbean. This series (three 26 minute episodes) will provide the public with a historical look into the origins of theatre and especially puppetry theatre from Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, as well as provide unique insight to the works of many prominent pioneers and puppet companies. This series will also educate audiences on the role theatre and puppetry played as a venue for artistic/cultural expression and preservation, especially during the unpredictable political climates of their countries.
