a punch for friday or puppets in shopping centres
Did it already happen to you? You were just walking down the shopping mall and all of a sudden a creapy and loud little hunchback guy shouts at you? With a strange voice? Like he would swallow a swazzle* ?
During the Festival of puppet theatre here in Gent, some shows were located in a main shopping centre downtown. With Punch & Judy by a duo from France Le Clou et l'Aiguille it worked out perfectly! People stopped shopping for a while and watched him mince his wife and baby. Ah, what a lovely shopping afternoon... :)

well, i really would like to hear that sound,,cause i cant imagine it at all....
ReplyDeletethats a shame sounds it very very interesting.i would like to hear,experience something new :))
specially in the puppet world,,
Ahoj Petra!! :) there is a link leading to wikipedia info about swazzle at the bottom of this post. You can find a very short example there. But surely there are some videos on youtube. The sound also depends on a voice of the performer. In this case it was a young girl, so it was even crazier and screechier:) But good!! Very good! Anytime I would hear about Punch and Judy in Oslo, I'll let you know!
