About What kind of puppet she is looking for creation

,she replied:” I like all my works and have tried to make each new puppet different from the previous one. Many of my puppets have been recognized in various festivals, but they have been distracted by the lack of continuity of performances. A puppet named BARFAK (snowflake) that I created for a television series was sometime popular among the audience, but it was forgotten about the end of the program. In recent years, I've created a character called "TANOMAND", which is a personality that is dramatic, but everyone who sees the puppet will fall in love with him. This puppet is in the mind and heart of those who have seen it. But to create a everlasting character, especially for children and adolescents, it is necessary to try and persist in the introduction of the personality and producer plays an important role.”

Does she think it is necessary to introduce the method or the new type of  puppet into the world of theater in line with the growth of technology?, she said:” I think that because the world of the today children has dramatic changes, it does not mean that it can no longer  introduce classical character to them. Let's remember the relationship of the old generation with the new one and the only thing that connects our world to the new generation is love and affection. This can also be done with the puppet. But, of course, you should be familiar with the jokes and fantasies of today’s Children.Also  I have  always tried to design and make new  puppet in line with the audience's thinking.”
