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.

Jon and I are working on a puppet version of me! He made the foam body inside and I sewed the outer body.
I gave her black yarn hair with light blue "highlights" (they're supposed to be grey hairs)
I'm still trying to decide if I like the darker eyelids. I think I like them. I don't wear makeup, but I do have darkness around my eyes.

Rajasthani Puppets are string marionettes that originate from the state of Rajasthan in India. The puppets are controlled by a single string that passes from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. Characteristic to this form are the shrill voices produced by the lead puppeteer which are spoken through a bamboo reed. The art of Rajasthani puppetry (also called Kathputli) originated a thousand years ago when the Bhat community began to practice this art. Patronised by many ruling families in the state, it soon grew into a major art form of the region. Due to the invasion of Rajasthan by the Mughals, Kathputli gradually lost its importance. It has been one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Historically, these puppets were not only a source of entertainment, but also provided moral and social education. The shows tackled problems like the dowry system, women's empowerment, illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, andcleanliness. These puppet shows made people aware of the social problems that everybody was facing and also showed ways of solving them.

Two Egyptian actresses in costume watch a rod puppet show at backstage in the National Puppet Theatre in Cairo, Egypt, on March 5, 2015. Puppetry has a long history in Egypt, which could be dated back to the Pharaonic times. Egyptians began to manufacture Marionette dolls for entertainment in the 1960's, when they established the National Puppet Theatre in capital Cairo. Due to social turmoil, entertainments seem rare and precious for Egyptian people. Meanwhile the fading industry of puppetry is challenged by mass media, internet and mobile phones and gradually lost popularity in the past decade. (Xinhua/Pan Chaoyue)
