Puppets of last week

Last week was an international day of puppet theatre. I was checking if google made any animated doodle with puppets, like they did on Women's day, or Douglas Adams 61st birthday. But I didn't find anything. I read the message for all puppeteers about Pulcinella and the melodies and rhythm of swazzle. By Roberto De Simone. (Who?) 

Than I tried to book a ticket to see the last show of Belgian puppet Theatre Taptoe. Apparently they are going to quit playing. But I didn't get any reply, and it seems, that it's already sold out.

So I decided, to spend some time with my own puppets and clean up a little in the atelier. (The little space, where I work and call it the Kukulu room.) And I found this guys! My very first puppets I used to play with as a child. They are somehow ugly and nice at the same time :) I think, they should get a little honour at least by appearing on this blog.
