Puppet Theater Backstage

The backstage of a puppet theater is where puppeteers take a rest and puppets are assembled. There are mainly four categories of puppet heads, namely sheng (生, male lead), dan (旦, female lead), chou (丑, clown) and jing (淨, painted face) representing characters of different gender and persona. When dressed with different costume and accessories, the puppets can develop into various roles for different stories.
