Espen Dekko
After having worked with puppetry since 1990 Espen Dekko in 2000 established Dekkoart to produce performing arts using puppetry as expression.
The aim is to convey new drama through the visual and metaphoric language of puppetry. With performances for adults or directed towards children the company wishes to create its own form consisting of its particular universe of images and visual stories.

The puppetry performer is in his/her profession a manipulator. This is because he/she in use of manipulation and acting techniques affects the figure to express and show significance, throughout which he/she creates for the spectator an illusion regarding the figure's life. In the larger picture one can say that the performer is a manipulator for making the spectator believe in this illusion. For the spectator the performer is an animator; one who gives the figure life. The performer creates for the spectator an illusion dead material has soul.
