I believe these are from the Little Angel puppet theatre. I remember when I first started using Ubuntu linux they were using it too and someone from there was a regular on the community site. The puppets are now in the V&A.

is unlike any puppet performance you have ever seen. Instead of remaining behind screens during the performance, the puppeteers are an integral part of the show, classically trained dancers who imitate the movements of the puppets to literally bring them to life, capturing gestures and nuances.. Traditional puppets give performances of the Ramayana (or Ramakien in Thai), the Indian epic tale, drenched in all kinds of intriguing plots.

This old sketch was for a really deep theater that i thought i had a chance to build, but knew i had no clue what to do with.
1.) There were puppets behind a shadow screen in the background.
2.) conventional rod and hand puppets appeared in front of the screen.
3.) Narrative actor appeared in front of the stage/wall.
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.
