'Twin Houses,' festival finale, probes human psyche

The Hopkins Center's Festival of International Puppetry came to a close this weekend with a performance of "Twin Houses" by the Compagnie Nicole Mossoux/Patrick Bonte. And what a finale it was. The performance, the work of Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonte of Belgium, consisted of several scenes involving Mossoux and one or more exceedingly life-like mannequin-size puppets. "Twin Houses" was a portrayal of the effects upon the human psyche of the numerous, and often contradictory, impulses and ideas that control our lives.
