PHILLIP HUBER
THE HUBER MARIONETTES
"The Huber Marionettes serve up captivating ‘ solo’ performances by a succession of puppets so convincing you no longer see the real virtuoso behind them - master puppeteer Phillip Huber – who manipulates a formidable tangle of strings in plain view of the audience. From a complicated trapeze act, to a violinist whose fingering is fascinating, to an uncanny Liza Minnelli marionette belting ‘City Lights’ the manipulations are nothing short of riveting.” Tom Gilbert - Los Angeles Times
