    Othello is a particularly attractive play to examine the connection between Shakespeare and puppets, as Othello is metaphorically manipulated by Iago, who is the one pulling the strings. This chapter turns the metaphor into reality with the study of the connection between Othello and puppet theatre. To do so, the chapter focuses on three productions: Che cosa sono le nuvole (1968), a short film by Pier Paolo Pasolini, O-telo (2011)¸ by the theatre company Viajeinmóvil, and the performance of Othello in the series Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare (2015), by Forced Entertainment. These productions engage with different European puppet traditions and offer new insights into the play that have contributed to the dissemination of Shakespeare’s Othello throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
