The emperor recognized his lost love and so the story goes his grief was assuaged. Silhouettes, six feet high, Hanuman, king of the monkeys, the god Rama, and the ten headed demon Ravana, a cut out in transparent parchment decorated with mineral colors and extracts of flowers. In the north of India wandering puppeteers recall the court of the great mogul. These figures represent creatures from some other world who have come to divert human beings. In order to emphasize their peculiar quality the operator of whistle between his teeth and douse them with distorted and piercing voices.

Shanti Bhadan, creator of the little ballet troupe, felt that legendary heroes might be interpreted by masked dancers whose costumes and movements would imitate those of puppets. The grotesque theater of Krakow, likewise, drives its strength from puppets. In this work by music the mask is employed to interpret the absurd.

Is the water good? But react, Peter. But can you respond? You are immobilized in resignation. Here is Bill Berg, like a sorcerer, who manipulates his creation.

Only the old initiates know the secrets of the coatings which give the head and hands of the doll this marvels appearance of Poznan. This dance to the theme of the Sambasso is based on one of our oldest obsessions levitation.

The elusive gestures and their harshness go beyond human movements yet they convey their meaning to us. Based on such perfection it is impossible not to recall the remark which Takeda made to a youth who was anxious to take up the art and give life to inanimate objects. They begin by working with your fingers and with your hands then with your arms but you will never be able to bring Mary Annette's to life until you work with your heart. The new year in the streets of Singapore the crowd gathers around the dragon bringer of good luck. A gigantic Mary Annette driving from a past laden with tradition.

As in a wild dream we find ourselves thinking that in the Orient Mary Annette's are surely one of the most perfect expressions of all that is sacred. In Laos the dolls themselves are sacred when one of them can no longer be used its owner burns it lest he be the victim of the evil spells within it. Christ said in the theater only God and the Mary Annette are perfect. In Malaysia the Mary Annette is the product of a religious ritual. The magic of the shadow theatre is called upon to teach people that good always ultimately overcome these evil. The ceremony begins. Rice is cast as a mark of purification and the silhouettes made from buffalo skin trace the mythology of the Rana Yana on a screen of silk.

For Peter Schumann, the Marionette is an actor statue, which makes it possible to amplify human movement.

These monstrous and fantastical Marionettes are subject to a right not unlike those still existing in ballet or in the voodoo ceremonies. What? Come on. Come on. Is it the suggestion of a feeling, a fugitive expression,

Of puppets and puppetry and not so long ago, a message about keeping America beautiful. There's enough ideas in there about puppets and puppetry, puppet making to keep you busy for the next year. And one particular idea that's worth remembering, whether you're working with puppets or doing almost anything. I believe the man said, you must begin by working with your fingers and with your hands, then with your arms, but you will never be able to bring Marionettes to life until you've worked with your heart. Fair enough. Until next time, this is Elvenford saying so long. Music
