Z okazji przypadającego 21 marca Światowego Dnia Lalkarstwa orędzie do społeczności lalkarskiej w imieniu władz UNIMA wystosował Juan Baixas, kataloński artysta malarz, pedagog, performer i lalkarz:
Today, it's a celebration day
With a firm gesture we put aside newspapers, switch off newscasts and propose a toast to the art and the brotherhood, today is a festive day, we celebrate the World’s Day of Puppetry.
We cannot forget about the grief, the painful reality of mishaps and penuries troubling the world, but exactly because we do not want to forget, we commit ourselves to celebrate human dignity, the insatiable zeal of men to strengthen life against misfortune and death...
