I remember Igor very well from when I first moved to Boston in the 80’s. I saw him multiple times in Harvard Square & was gob-smacked every time. The sweetness that shows through his artistry always made everyone happy & put smiles on their faces, especially children. The Mr Rogers of marionettists. I cried when I looked him up a few years back and found out he had passed. May we all be so blessed as to leave such a beautiful impact on the lives of complete strangers.
Incredible talent, and I am in tears at the tragic loss of such a wonderful man. The speech given at his Benefit was so, so moving. Thank you to whoever has uploaded this magical video for generations to come to enjoy.
some things in life are so magical like Igor's talent at reaching people's hearts. The simplicity of the puppet action was mesmerising. I totally fell in love with all the puppets. And then Igor was gone! To make sense of it is futile. I guess we all have to be thankful for the little time we have on this planet because we never know when our time is up.
I laughed when I saw his beautiful puppets and the way he handled them, and I cried when I learned that the Magic :Puppeteer Igor Fokin had died suddenly when he was only 36 years old. I am sure he went directly to Heaven because he gave so much happiness to people, particularly to children. Little Angels must be enjoying the presence of this young man who is now performing his lovely acts for them with Sweet Jesus's permission.
Praise the Lord! Wow, what a lesson on how to live life.❤ I loved the way Igor gave everyone smiles of delight by making his marionettes interact with them. How shocking and sad that he died of sudden heart failure. But what a wonderful way the community came out in support of him and his family. May God bless his soul and bless his family with his wonderful memory. I was absolutely blessed to see this video tonight.❤ Thank you! It will be lovely to see Igor in heaven one day.❤🙏❤🙏😊
Очень понравилось!!! Это здорово, что есть такие талантливые люди!!! Они дарят нам добро, прекрасное настроение, душевную радость!!! Очень понравился фильм о прекрасном человеке, который дарил нам добро, душевную радость, сердечное тепло!!! Светлая вам память!!!❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞
this video is testament to a beautiful craft and still gives people pleasure.maybe hi is looking down thinking how nice people are still smiling at his work.
This is really great. I've only just now found this via a playlist on the channel In Harmonium, but now I will never forget the work of Igor Fokin and his impact. Thank you!
Oww...Loved it.💓❤ In between the vedio I commented here but later on came to know that Artist is no more.😔 But he will stay always in people's heart.💛💛💓
Какую короткую и яркую жизнь прожил этот красивый человек!Какой замечательный кукловод,какой музыкальный.Он легко вписался в чужую среду,его английский безукоризнен,и в то же время он насквозь русский.Его можно назвать посланцем русского искусства в далекой Канаде.
Merveilleux, poignant, poétique, triste et si plein de vie en même temps. Bravo pour votre documentaire. Les marionnettistes paraissent si modestes, si sensibles, si délicats et Igor si lumineux aussi. De très beaux moments, des gestes d’enfants secrets que vous avez su capter. Cet homme, Igor, on l’aime.
I didnt think i would be seeing the end of this puppeteer in the video but it got me a little bit. We see the smiles on his face as he interacts with peple. We see the smiles of those that are entertained by his antics... ... He had a special soul.
So so sad! The way the muppet is back dancing merrily, becuse he receives a little amount of love from this little girl, is a so pure moment of kindness!
I wish more people would use their talents to make other people happy. There are many talented people in this world, but some use that for evil things like making weapons and we all need to use our gifts and talents for God’s glory.
The ability to turn grown adults into 8 year olds is an amazing talent. A beautiful and touching film.
And coincidently turned the children into doting cuddling parents to the little puppets.

So sad he is gone I'm sure too he is performing in heaven
I remember his shows with great fondness. Hard to believe it's been 20 years since he passed.RIP.

Филм о прекрасном человеке, посвятившим свою жизнь и талант людям (и детям и взрослым). Очень жаль, что так рано ушёл. Светлая ему память.
I’ve been watching quite a few puppeteers, this man was a genius with much talent! I wish his story hadn’t ended as it did, he was a lovely man.
Chris, Gary, wonderful! I am so happy the people will be able to see this work of love and will be touched by Igor's magic.
Потрясающий материал. Гениальный мастер-кукольник! Игорь, помню, восхищаюсь! Рай тебе Небесный!
Tears and smiles at the same time came to me as I watched the court jester give so much love to the children.
This is really great. I've only just now found this via a playlist on the channel In Harmonium, but now I will never forget the work of Igor Fokin and his impact. Thank you!
Wow! What a film!!! I am so glad I found it and watched it. ❤🧡❤🧡
Totally brilliant from top to bottom, from the idea to realization! What a Man and what a film! Treasure and trash: indeed so far, yet SO close!!
Oww...Loved it.💓❤ In between the vedio I commented here but later on came to know that Artist is no more.😔 But he will stay always in people's heart.💛💛💓

Светлая память.......................
Очень грустно, когда такие талантливые, и главное добродушные, уходят от нас молодыми.
An inspirational individual, makes my heart smile and laugh. His memory will live on in the hearts of the people he has touched. Beautiful.
The magic and joy he brought others will never die
Thank you Igor! Thank you for this magic, thank you for celebrating the ephemeral beauty that is life!
Peace b upon this great man a rare talent above all a honest living God bless his soul short lived...
Светлая память тебе, Маленький Принц!
Hard for me to believe that it has taken me 7 years to see something as amazing as this. He's very talented.
I didnt think i would be seeing the end of this puppeteer in the video but it got me a little bit. We see the smiles on his face as he interacts with peple. We see the smiles of those that are entertained by his antics... ...
He had a special soul.
Thanks for the wonderful movie about an amazing man. It's a shame that today kindness is not a vogue in a distant Russia.
It will change
Lovely story and quite sudden sad end 😢💕
Such a beautiful film ...
Прекрасный светлый человек с великим талантом делать мир лучше.

Quero saber mais sobre Igor
Фильм - память со слезами на глазах..........
RESPECT
19:20
Игорь успел сделать страуса с яцами?
Would it not be better to have nearly invisible strings ?
If he's not married 12:25 was digging him to the core.
Igor Fokin June 14, 1960 - September 21, 1996
Hi. Have you performed in Harvard Square in the 1990’s? Thank you.
Brilliant, and gone too soon.
sad to say some hidden talents never shown clearly and will die with you because you did not know how to express to the world around you.
💓
Would love to have one of that marionette
🧡🧡🧡
I wish more people would use their talents to make other people happy. There are many talented people in this world, but some use that for evil things like making weapons and we all need to use our gifts and talents for God’s glory.
Lo que entendí: has gan gran tan ram ran
открой свой театр...спонсоров найдешь,не сомневайся.Спасибо тебе
Кажется вы не поняли, что Игорь Фокин уже в раю и фильм был сделан после его ухода.
❤
