I went to see puppets being made for Shadow puppet theatre.
Wayang Kulit is a unique form of theatre employing light and shadow. The puppets are crafted from buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo sticks. When held up behind a piece of white cloth, with an electric bulb or an oil lamp as the light source, shadows are cast on the screen.
Wayang Kulit plays are invariably based on romantic tales, especially adaptations of the classic Indian epics, "The Mahabarata" and "The Ramayana". Some of the plays are also based on local happenings (current issues) or other local secular stories. It is up to the conductor or "Tok Dalang" to decide his direction.

The puppet was made by Bruce Rowland and dressed by me. The head was made from fibreglass and the hands, feet and legs carved from wood. The helmet, shield and lance were made on a 3D printer.

From Wikipedia:
The puppet bike concept was created by artist and inventor Jason Trusty. The bike itself consists of a large custom-built tricycle complete with a small box on the back which serves as a stage for puppet shows. The box is brightly decorated with images of the puppets themselves and other designs. Solar panels on the roof help power the ghetto blaster (which provides music for the shows), as well as fans inside the box that help cool the performer.
Originally, the concept was developed for a bipolar friend of Trusty who was unemployed. The bike allowed this friend to make some extra money at his own pace, and to simply stop and go home when he was tired of it.
The original bike was generally parked outside of the Chicago Cultural Center and was subject to a significant amount of vandalism when not in use. It was sometimes painted over with graffiti, tipped over, and broken.
According to Trusty: "We get just as much a kick out of people who don't like the bike, or think that it's scary."
Joe crafted this puppet from foam-- he and his wife Jeanne Wall make most of their puppets. This one is quite a character!
