"Professor" Brian Patterson of the Great Dickens Christmas Faire presents a Victorian puppet show at the Museum of Performance & Design on Saturday, November 12, 2 -3 pm.
From Wikipedia:
The puppet bike concept was created by artist and inventor Jason Trusty. The bike itself consists of a large custom-built tricycle complete with a small box on the back which serves as a stage for puppet shows. The box is brightly decorated with images of the puppets themselves and other designs. Solar panels on the roof help power the ghetto blaster (which provides music for the shows), as well as fans inside the box that help cool the performer.
Originally, the concept was developed for a bipolar friend of Trusty who was unemployed. The bike allowed this friend to make some extra money at his own pace, and to simply stop and go home when he was tired of it.
The original bike was generally parked outside of the Chicago Cultural Center and was subject to a significant amount of vandalism when not in use. It was sometimes painted over with graffiti, tipped over, and broken.
According to Trusty: "We get just as much a kick out of people who don't like the bike, or think that it's scary."

A close-up of a pair of puppets that were decorating the wall at my daughters' apartment. From this angle both puppets really seem to be looking at something on their left - seen head-on their eyes usually look blank and unfocussed.
