Scrapboo Entry No 21


The marionette

This picture was taken in Berlin, Germany's capital in February 2008. As you can see on the picture, it depicts a plastic marionette that had been animated by five other people who were all dressed an in a black suit, wearing a white mask.
By simply looking at the picture one wouldn't be able to see what was so special about the marionette. However, the amazing thing about it was how realistic and graceful these five people had the marionette move. It took a bow and waved at you and even danced for you.
I didn't believe my eyes when I first saw the puppet moving. I guess it must have taken a great amount of practice, timing, patience and perfect cooperation as well as communication to coordinate the marionette's movements since five people were responsible for its actions.
