Description
Missing left arm / hand from elbow joint down. Nice piece for some renovation. Puppetry is an ancient form of performance. Some historians claim that they predate actors in theatre. There is evidence that they were used in Egypt as early as 2000 BC when string-operated figures of wood were manipulated to perform the action of kneading bread, and other string-controlled objects. Wire-controlled, articulated puppets made of clay and ivory have been found in Egyptian tombs. Marionette puppetry was used to display rituals and ceremonies using these string-operated figurines back in ancient times and is still used today. In the United States, several groups have established permanent theatres or touring programs dedicated to spotlighting marionette performances. The Cole Marionettes were founded by George and Lucille Cole in Chicago circa 1934. The Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles is now considered a historical landmark, presented a variety of cabaret marionette shows. Other well know puppeteers include: The Puppetworks theatre in New York is under the direction of Nick Coppola. The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta develops and fosters marionette performers from across the globe. Le Theatre de Marionette in Dallas has recreated a traditional marionette theatre with puppeteer bridge and full stage productions. The National Marionette Theater with David Syrotiak at its helm has developed some of the most artistically staged shows to grace the American stage. The Fratello Marionettes, with its founder Kevin Menegus of Danville, California are wonderful marionette creators and performers. The Bill Baird Theatre in Greenwich Village closed in 1987 but was a nationally recognized treasure that presented countless shows to families for over a decade. The Frisch Marionettes in Cincinnati also produce some of the best marionettes. Joseph Cashore has been touring the United States for over 30 years with a collection of self-designed marionettes.
