Verdens figurteaterdag

Verdens figurteaterdag har siden 2003 blitt markert over hele verden den 21. mars hvert år.

Opprettelse av dagen rediger

Dagen ble innstiftet av organisasjonen UNIMA (UNion Internationale de la MArionnette), som er en verdensomspennende interesseorganisasjon for figurteater. Dagen ble innstiftet etter initiativ fra den iranske figurmakeren og figurspilleren Javad Zolfaghari, og ble markert for første gang i 2003.^[1]^[2]

Internasjonalt rediger

UNIMAs generalsekretariat holder til i Charleville-Mézières i Frankrike, og sørger for en behørig feiring i og rundt organisasjonens hovedkvarter.^[3] Figurteaterkompanier og -utøvere over hele verden markerer også dagen på ulike måter.^[1]^[2]^[4]^[5] Eksempelvis organiserte ensemblet som spilte den prisbelønte figurteatermusikalen Avenue Q på Broadway, en utendørsmarkering på Manhattan den 21. mars 2016.^[6]

UNIMAs generalsekretariat publiserte i mars 2018 en video der figurteaterutøvere og -entusiaster fra blant annet Algerie, Australia, Canada, Frankrike, Spania, Kina og India hadde tatt opp sine hilsener i anledning den forestående feiringen. I alle de ulike opptakene ble mottoet «Together we create the movement» fremsagt på de medvirkendes respektive språk.^[7]
