Puppet Takeover Show
Mephit Furmeet 2019
And so the insanity began!
They did a major revision and freshening of the show this year. I think that it was a large improvement.
One very popular form of entertainment in Prague are its puppet theatres, and you’ll find puppets for sale in many of the souvenir shops in the tourist areas.
Marionettes first came to Bohemia in the late 1600s, brought in by performers from across Europe, notably France, Italy and the Netherlands, but by the 1700s, the Czechs had established their own companies.
At first these puppets were almost lifesized, and were used as a cheaper alternative to paying real actors. Some shows used only puppets whilst others had a combination of live actors and marionettes, depending on what they could afford. Eventually though, as the puppet makers developed their skills and wanted to experiment, they began to make more stylised puppets, using the form and appearance of the puppet to portray or emphasise certain attributes of the character.
Today you’ll find various performances running in Prague, perhaps the most famous being the National Marionette Theatre in the Old Town, which famously performs Mozart’s Don Giovanni using puppets (Don Giovanni also has a strong connection with Prague, having had its world premiere here in 1787).
My needle felted fox puppet is made from wool, he has bead eyes, a cute wooly tail and a waxed nose. Use your fox puppet to help tell a story or act out a daily event. Adults and educators like to give puppets to children because they stimulate the imagination; children love puppets because they're fun!

Puppets is actually a general conclusion based upon the other photographs. The chess board pattern on the floor, walls and ceiling suggests that once controlled, people end up taking irrational decisions that eventually will leave them in impossible situations. The human element is set alongside a giant chess pawn in order to emphasize how far governments and corporations can go in order to manipulate us into working in their interest. Ever since we are born, we are indoctrinated with their ideas and suggestions, so much so that in the end we no longer realize they are there, in the shadows, telling us what to do.

For my birthday I've got a group of my favorite pix from last month's visit to the Hakka Tulou dwellings. The first photo in the set has links and much more information on this group of ancient, unique homes.
Pierce Desrochers-O'Sullivan, Robin and Amanda goof around with puppet gloves in the Unraku workshop.
one of my first puppets (7 years ago), designed for a puppet show that didn't come to life (yet) after the novel "Moscow-Petushky" by Venedict Yerofeyev. this one is an unfinnieshed puppet of a drunken angry woman with a moustache and a brown barret. the eyes are closing&opening, the mouth is opening, the legs have a walking mechanism and the hair is hudden in the hat untill the alcohol causes mass hallucination and then it springs up and reveels snake heads on the hair tips- like a meduza-gorgona
My wife makes puppets. These 3 puppets are on their way to Belise (but not in the dory!) with a group from Christ Church Cathedral www.christchurchcathedral.com/ who are going on a mission trip to Belise.

In the Children's Home, some of the Sisters decided that those who were not really interested in football or other physical activities should find other pastimes.
To some making puppets might seem a bit silly, but if it meant staying indoors rather than out on the playing field cheering a group of boys playing football who you did not care which team they were on and who scored goals, then puppet making was an easy option.
It was one of those events where the girls made most of the decisions once the puppets were made about what the story would be about, and which puppets had the main parts.
With stick puppets it was quite easy there were no strings to get tangled up and for the boys easier to add a fight scene into the event.
