Hippo traveled light and left Grumpie Duckie at home. But they can still play together in the form of a finger puppet show.

Puppet Master
Someone pulls the strings, We are but puppets created for a play,
Made to dance or walk or fall, For the puppet masters whim,
Who writes my lines? Choosing the characters that I play?
Can it be I have a choice, To cut the strings and walk away?
It it then I'll know the secret? Understand who controls the fates?
That I will be taken from this stage, and saved for another play?
Will I ever know the answer, to make the knowledge my joy?
Or am I paying for an indiscretion, a failure from another scene?
Do we keep repeating and rehersing our lines, Until we get it right?
And for every error that mankind makes, does the puppetmaster start anew?
The treadmill that we walk, Monuments which we sometimes pass
Several times in rememberance, De ja vous of a tomorrow that we've already played.
This water puppet theater performance lasted approximately 45 minutes. I am used to Regal Cinemas in Portland, Oregon where these huge warnings are given. "Turn off your cell phones. No recording under penalty of both hands being removed from your body…" or something like that. Hanoi, no warnings, no rules. Cameras, videos, cell phones, iPads, samsung tablets--all allowed. So this is my contribution to the fray. Live performers/musicians on the left side. Puppeteers behind the curtain manipulating everything in the water. Next to me, two young kids, both with ADHD, bouncing off the seats. Attention spans of about 30 seconds. Three seats for two adults and two kids. The father finally got up and moved to a different row leaving the mom with two hyperactive kids and me. great performance anyway.
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 an exhibit of Jim Henson's puppets in the American History Museum.
Sorry about the glare of the flash.
