"Igor Fokin moved from St. Petersburg to Cambridge in the 1990s and began to share his incredible genius as a puppet buildier and performer for the crowds in Harvard Square,

"His uncanny knack for creating life-like characters may have stemmed from the fact that, to him, they were alive!

This documentary short reveals the background of this great artist, the secrets of his craft, and the winsome personality of a performer whose life ended far too soon." PAUL VAN NESS
