Prompt 2:
- At first I really struggled with thinking of anything else but shadow puppetry had me thinking about puppets in general. Then, Marionette puppets came to mind. Doing some research, I found out that those puppets have been around since 2000 BC, found in Egypt. From there they continued to be seen in many places as children’s toys or active puppets that play in some form of a theater. I feel like I’ve seen someone moving wooden marionette puppets on the sidewalk somewhere but it feels like a distant memory. these puppets mostly relates to shadow puppets in the amount of effort it takes. Both usually are done with one person and the puppets are made by hand or customized to be unique. Though Marionette puppets do take a 3D form and space unlike shadow puppets that play usually only in 2D, I feel like the story telling would be similar.
