Rajasthan is widely considered as the hub of folk art and folk theatre. Puppetry also known as Kathputli is performed by the Bhat community precisely which renders them as an inevitable part of oral literature and also as the main contributor in documenting history of Kings. The artform of Puppetry has always been a genre that never fails to capture immediate attention and has the power to bind the audience, compelling them to think as to what the puppet masters of the Bhat community are trying to point out. Our reasons for choosing Puppetry as the prime focus of our small project has been inspired by the same argument. Folklore has immense aesthetic and traditional values for every region. The way it ranges from talking about mythical celestial heroes to kings and their kingdoms, kathputli tradition has incorporated it all. Our inclination towards the art of string Puppetry is undeniable. The efficiency with which the Bhats have employed their skills to demolish the hegemonic constructions, depicts that their methods are nothing short of perfection. This article attempts to venture into this very discourse, unravelling the politicised stance of Puppetry in decentring the hegemony of caste/class construction.

“…Bell further contends that any use of object, material or concrete matter in order to enact symbolic and performative processes functions as a puppet, or as part of the material world. In an earlier analysis, the question of defining, or characterising the puppet in order to understand its potential and expression in performance, is debated at length by Tillis (1992), who notes the wide range of possibilities under the terminology of 'puppet' and thus the difficulties in marking boundaries.…”

“…The quest for puppetry training led initially in both Eastern and Western Europe to an investigation into the qualities of 'puppet-ness', an enquiry largely spearheaded by Russian puppeteer and director Sergei Obraztsov (1901-1992, founder and director for many years of the Moscow State Puppet Theatre. Obraztsov's research and directing methods insisted that the puppet had a separate vocabulary of movement and expression which differed from that of the actor, and that it should refer to this vocabulary rather than try to achieve the equivalent of expression in acting.…”

Históricamente, es posible identificar cuatro conceptos popularizados respecto a cómo se perciben las marionetas: como algo mágico/sagrado, prohibido, infantil y siniestro. Este artículo presenta una nueva categoría, analizando cómo las marionetas entregan la posibilidad de experimentar la manifestación de lo sublime en sus espectadores, entendiendo “simplemente que lo sublime es la presentación del hecho que hay presentación” (Lacoue-Labarthe). Se examina el develamiento del aparecer del ente en tres puestas en escena, Chiflón, el silencio del carbón, Feos y Chaika, mediante las cualidades físicas, las acciones y la forma de presentarse de las marionetas en las realizaciones escénicas, creando una realidad particular, única y orgánica a su titereidad. La manifestación de lo sublime surge en tanto hay develación de un real en el aparecer mismo de la marioneta mediante su relación performativa con los demás elementos escénicos y el espectador.
