My husband made each member of the wedding party a puppet to match them. They entered the reception carrying them.

O+S Puppet Show shorts, size 5. Brown chambray.
This will definitely be the last pair of these for Lucy - unlike dresses and tops which are easy to lengthen, these are a bit on the tight side!

Introducing Thai Theatrical Puppetry
The thratrical puppetry is unique smong the various forms of puppetry in that each puppet
represents a character taken from the traditional Thai theater. There are three types of
traditional Thai theatrical performances, all of which are stylized, with dancing, singing and music
comparable in complexity with the European opera-ballet of the 18th century French royal
court at Versailles. The most sophisticated od these is khon, which performs only the ramakian
(the Thai versoin of the Indian epic, Ramayana); the less ssophisticated is lakhon, performs all
other classics of Thai drama; and the least sophisticated is likey, which performs common
drames, Thai theatrical puppetry is also unique in that each puppet requires the synchronised
efforts of three puppeteers is its manipulation, all of whom appear on stage with the puppet
and each of whom is khon, lakhon or likay performer in his or her own right. The puppets, in
short, perform khon, lakhon or likay on stage with the puppeteers, where the name 'theatrical
puppetry'.
The Traditional Thai Puppet Theater Company is the authoritative guardian of this dying art
form: the directors and senior members of the troupe are direct artistic seccessors of the
founder of Thai theatrical puppetry. Performances are as unique as they are authentic
Performance at the Traditional Thai Puppet Theater are s showcase for Thailand 's cultural
heritage and reflect the undtinting efforts of the troupe to preserve and perpetuate this exotic art form.

This charming fellow is a Sri Lanka vintage handmade Marionette of a demon deity. He's 16 inches tall and made of wood, burlap cotton and interesting rope hair. He's a little stinky. The person I bought it from said they bought it in Sri Lanka on a trip in 1984! Sure glad they decided to sell it. It is teh a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
Just hangin' out temporarily on my bed. Yes, it lights up. ^-^
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.
Day 2: I love puppets. The Muppet Show. Avenue Q. The Storyteller (especially this!). I've always loved the shows that feature these type of puppets.
The puppet theatre in My Big Backyard is perfect for puppet shows and morality plays of all kids.

This puppet was presented to The Queen in Yogyakarta, Java, on 20 March 1974 during her State Visit to Indonesia. The donor was Hamengkubuwono IX, Sultan of Yogyakarta, and first Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta; in addition, he was Vice-President of Indonesia. The puppet is of a traditional Indonesian style known as wayang golek.

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.

A puppet master or puppeteer (called Dalang) plays shadow puppets from behind a screen. A 'blencong', or light of a flame ignited from coconut oil, is used to cast the shadow of the puppets. The quivering flame makes the shadow of the puppet jump alive. In Java, the coconut oil light has now sadly been replaced by electric lamps, a phenomenon that is now also occurring on Bali. During the show, two assistants aid the puppeteer by providing him (as the puppeteer is rarely a 'her') with his required puppets. Fragments of the Indian epics 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata' are popularly played out as themes for the shadow puppets.
Wayang puppet is one of the cultural artistic heritage of our ancestors. Land Sundanese traditional arts have been known since ancient times. However, with time pass by, the presence of Wayang puppet gradually forgotten, especially among the younger generation.
