Igor with marionettes |
This is the Igor Fokin family website. Igor's widow, Anastasia Fokina-Khanina, committed to her husband's legacy, launched it in appreciation of the affection she has received from the multitude of Igor's fans.
Igor Fokin, the master Russian puppeteer, came to America with his family and his marionettes in 1994. For two years, his puppets entranced children and adults alike with memorable performances on Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. In 1996, Fokin died suddenly at the young age of 36.
In his honor, there is a memorial statue of Doo Doo, his most popular puppet, at his favorite spot in Harvard Square. Visitors regularly come to pay homage to this unique artist.
