We asked La MaMa Puppet Slam participant Marina Tsaplina [in character as Jack O'Somebody] to take on The Proust Questionnaire, the basis for Inside the Actors Studio's '10 questions.'
Call this Inside the Puppet Studio -or- The Puppet Questionnaire.
What is your favorite virtue?
Infinite wonder and curiosity.
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Being in a state of stuckness.
What is your idea of earthly happiness?
To have one toe on the ground and one finger touching the moon.
Where would you like to live?
In a soft nook wherever I fit.
To what faults do you feel most indulgent?
In geology a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement along the fractures as a result of earth movement. Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults. Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes.
A fault line is the surface trace of a fault, the line of intersection between the fault plane and the Earth's surface.
Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, geologists use the term fault zone when referring to the zone of complex deformation associated with the fault plane.
So, what is the fault line of my being?
It is less the fault itself, than the overwhelming depth of that fracture.
It is my fractured self.
