Antique (1919), French Puppetry Play- L'Ours et la Lune by French Ambassador to Brazil, Paul Claudel with Music by Darius Milhaud

Thank you to https://puppetplays.eu/en/oeuvres/342410/lours-et-la-lune for the explanation of this puppet play:

"Paul Claudel wrote this farce for puppets during the First World War, in collaboration with Darius Milhaud who worked on the music. He wrote it in Rio de Janeiro during his first stay as ambassador of France in Brazil. The play is made of four scenes, and the last three are played with puppets.

These three scenes are farces, each leading to the next and creating a chain that leads back to the first farce. The farces teach the virtues of renunciation in order to feel free."
