'string production?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.

(Other definitions for puppetry that I've seen before include "Art using marionettes" , "Unconvincing presentation" , "Eg, use of marionettes" , "The art of manipulating dolls" , "Punch and Judy act" .)
