Marrionettes

Prague may be known for marionettes.  It rained while we were there, so we didn't see any street performers with puppets. So all we saw were in stores and they were starting to look all alike.  But I liked these guys with their stiff springs instead of strings.  Children could enjoy not having tangled strings.

One shop had puppets that resembled characters from literature and public figures.  I especially liked this combination.  Imagine what a story of Jack Sparrow, Don Quixote and Vladimir Putin might be like.

We did manage to get to a Black Light Theatre show in Prague.  I nodded off through about half of it, but enjoyed what I was capable of staying awake for.  The MC tellings us to keep our cameras off and turn off phones did a great job of imitating Americans and Germans who probably made up most of the audience. Black Light is dance and mime with costumes that light up under black light.  One of the dance scenes I liked had a woman dancing through the holes of this big green flexible swiss cheese like costume of another dancer.
