The opera of the puppets and the Sicilian tradition of cantastorî (singers of tales) are rooted in the Provençal troubadour tradition in Sicily during the reign of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, in the first half of the 13th century. A great place to see this marionette art is the puppet theatres of Palermo, Sicily.
Pelham Puppets were simple wooden marionette puppets made in England by Bob Pelham (1919–1980), starting in 1947. While mainly known for making marionettes, his company also manufactured glove puppets, rod puppets and ventriloquist puppets. The company ceased to trade in 1993 and some of its products became collectable.
The Opera dei Pupi is attested in Campania and Apulia, where puppets have the same mechanics and figurative characteristics. The puppets, equipped with a padded wooden skeleton, are 110 cm. and weigh about 20 kg. The legs are semi-articulated. They have a single maneuvering iron rod as both arms are maneuvered with wires.
Kathputli is a string puppet theatre, native to Rajasthan, India, and is the most popular form of Indian puppetry. [1] Being a string marionette, it is controlled by a single string that passes it from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. [2] Putli meaning a doll. Kathputli means a puppet which is made entirely from wood.
Pinocchio is a wooden marionette (a puppet that is manipulated with wires or strings) and not a hand puppet (directly controlled from inside by the puppeteer's hand). However, the piece of wood from which he is derived is animated, and so Pinocchio moves independently. He often gets carried away by bad company and is prone to lying.
A hand puppet (or glove puppet) is a puppet controlled by one hand, which occupies the interior of the puppet. The Punch and Judy puppets are familiar examples of hand puppets. Larger varieties of hand puppets place the puppeteer's hand in just the puppet's head, controlling the mouth and head, and the puppet's body then hangs over the entire arm.
