I Love You When You're Breathing

I Love You When You're Breathing is a puppet theatre presentation by Basil Jones (original text) and the Handspring Puppet Company.

The original text

From Handspring Puppet Company's Website:

I Love You When You're Breathing audiences have the unique opportunity of seeing a puppet deliver a meta-theatrical address to critics and the general public. Using comedy and generous amounts of self-reflexive humour, this presentation gives insight into the behind-the-scenes life of a puppet, as an object in the world of international theatre. Often humorous and sometimes irreverent, this short ‘lecture’ looks at what it’s like to be inanimate while also considering the special role of the audience and its part in making meaning.
