Summary:
A+ A-Hyderabad: Participants at the Workshop: Processes of Puppet Theatre got to watch the processes of sketching, carving and puppet making as well as were treated to a display of real leather puppets. On display were a lifesize puppet, smaller puppets and stunning lampshades – all made through the same process and with 100% natural colours. The puppets are given voices by the actors manipulating them and rapid limb movements. The Chithrakari group from Anantpur is 15 generations old and they have in their possession puppets which are nearly 500 years old. He said that they could perform any mythological story or timeless tale if given time to create puppets..
