Puppeteers of Existentialism (The Britannica Blog “Guide” to Careers)
      

Puppet Up! - Uncensored is the latest offering from the renowned Jim Henson Company.  

Mixing improv with the art of puppeteering, their performances are actually two shows in one, as this video makes plain: the comedic sketch by the puppets televised on the monitors and the transparent act of puppeteering onging in front of the audience.  

In this improvisation, the puppeteers must pontificate on the movie Forest Gump as a reflection of ... nothingness (a.k.a., existentialism)

Each Saturday we highlight a humorous and sometimes poignant video, interview, comic, or skit concerning different professions, past and present.  From W.C. Fields to Rowan Atkinson, classic cartoons to Monty Python---all and everything will be tapped for this light-hearted look each week at various careers and their tools of trade.
