puppets

Puppets are objects crafted to resemble humans, animals, or fantastical creatures, which are manipulated by a performer to convey stories or emotions. They can be operated using hands, strings, rods, or mechanical systems, allowing the puppeteer to bring the puppet to life through movement and vocalization. Puppetry is an ancient art form used in entertainment, education, and cultural storytelling, emphasizing the illusion of life within the inanimate figure. Effective puppets serve as a bridge between performer and audience, engaging viewers through their expressive potential and the stories they help tell.
