"Mr. Rais is indeed a
real and renowned master of marionette manipulation and
apparently a consummate actor as well. His portrayal of
the mysterious Puppeteer was both menacing and
compelling. His musicality, expressive hands and
gestures, and strong stage presence were exceptional."

“Rais adds the
poignant charm with his sad marionette clown, Totolino, drawing
a gasp, than applause as the little figure blows up a balloon
and drifts skyward.”

performances with his puppets.”

“Anthony Rais
can move you with his masterful marionette
artistic skills in a way that no one can. He
introduced the audience to his friend and
creation, Totolino, who captured the audiences
heart with his big and warm eyes, which seems to
be full of light, like the sun shining on brown
pools in the woods. Rais manipulated the
audience’s emotions into believing in his
character as if it was real. Totolino is an
amazing life like marionette, he will amuse you,
he will charm you, and will most definitely tug
at your heartstrings. This is quite an
astonishing accomplishment created by the
incredible Anthony Rais.”
