Abstract
Iranian theatre director Zahra Sabri’s dramaturgy layers performers and puppets, puppets and puppeteers, collapsing distinctions between the inanimate and the animate in ways that allow spectators more freedom to interpret her work. Her 2012 Count to One enacts the creation, animation, and destruction of clay puppets while telling a story of three soldiers who refuse to follow orders to bomb a foreign city.
