The sicilian puppet theater ( Opera dei Pupi ) is a theatrical form whose protagonists are the knights of Charlemagne represented by particular puppets, called “ Pupi ”. He tells stories drawn from the Chanson of Roland.

Recently UNESCO declared the theater of the puppets of Sicily, works of the oral and immaterial Patrimoine of humanity.

Do you ever feel like a puppet in someone elses stage? I do sometimes.

That was a outstanding shoot in my home studio. Thank you very much to my model for this great day.

...they come in pairs.

 

Locally known as Kathputli, kath meaning wood and putli meaning doll, puppets and puppetry define Rajasthani folklore; this art form is on the wane, and survive mainly because of patronage of hotels and some government funding...

This morning I enjoyed breakfast at the Royal West of England Academy where the igersbristol group had been invited for a preview of the current Centre Stage Exhibition celebrating theatre in the city of Bristol.

This is a mechanical lion puppet from A Midsummer Night's Dream with the puppets of Titania and Oberon in the background.

I met the Puppet Master

The narrow, high-walled passage swallowed the sound of my boot scraping a broken cobblestone, the echo sharp in the dry air. Above, a sliver of unforgiving sunlight cut down, carving deep shadows where the smell of dust and ancient stone now replaced the damp, mossy scent of the gully.

 

I paused, looking not just at my gloved hand—the leather scuffed from my descent, but at what was attached to it. Thin, nearly invisible lines, like high-tensile wires, stretched from the articulated cuff on my wrist and disappeared into the air above the path. I tracked them with my eyes until they converged on a small, stone figure standing motionless in the centre of the walkway.

 

It was a crude marionette, barely a foot tall, carved from the same pale, cracked stone as the surrounding walls. Dressed in a simple tunic, its blank, oval face held a radiating sense of expectant waiting. Its arms were held out, palms up.

 

I held the strings. Yet, the feeling was not one of control. It was as if the strings did not originate from my wrist, but merely passed through it, continuing upwards into the blinding light high above the gully walls.

 

"Who's the puppet, and who's the master?" I whispered, my voice a dry croak.

 

My hand twitched, an unbidden reflex. The stone figure jerked forward a fraction of an inch, its miniature boot grating on the path—a jerky, unnatural movement. A cold understanding gripped me: I wasn't controlling the doll; something else was controlling me to control the doll. The "Paraknowing" hadn't stopped its manipulation; it had simply changed its method. I was no longer merely a performer; I was the instrument itself.

 

The blank-faced stone figure stood there, a silent, pale extension of my own unwilling hand. And from somewhere high above, beyond the reach of my sight, I felt the strings tighten. The show, I realised, was far from finished.

I did not miss the Puppetry show - Katputlis, as it is known in local parlance of the colorful soil of Rajasthan.

 

These stunning puppets lie lifeless on the stage until the strings

are pulled by the puppeteer,it is one of the most interesting moment, when these

puppets come to life.one can see the lifeless puppets View On Black

   

The show starts with the fanfare of loud beats on the dholak, a drum is played

by the female members of the troupe, whereas the toot and whistle are played by

puppeteers, who produce sharp, trembling and shrill sounds through the rustic

reeds they hold in their mouth.

 

The puppet show displays depict the exploits of Amar Singh Rathore of Nagaur which is by far the most popular theme of such shows

  

Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

So einsam.....

So lonely....

A puppet quietly appears inside the little box theater, hoping to catch people's attention so a show can begin. Today the bike was parked just off Clark Street in Andersonville...such a happy, adorable thing to see! More on the Puppet Bike: www.puppetbike.com

"Master of puppets,

I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind

and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing"

 

(Metallica, "Master of Puppets")

Our local library invites the children to come to see the marionettes every Holiday Season. A delightful show for young and young at heart.

Still working on this idea, just a proof of concept trying to learn more about the puppet warp tool.
