I'm currently living in Norfolk which is funny because everyone is accidently racist, but deppressing because a lot of people are actually massive racists. What the hell has this got to do with a TV show or Puppets?
Norwich Puppet Theatre:
I loved this place when I was a kid. It was just magical. The marrionettes they use have such a destinctive style.
I don't know who took these photos but if it was you, message me so I can give you credit, they are just lovely.
They remind me of Mirrormask:
They look like they've made themselves out of anything they can find, they are cute & creepy, beautiful & slightly haunting all at once.
However hard I tried to dismiss my love of puppetry as something childish, like wanting to be an astronaut, we kept getting taken on school trips here to see strange & wonderful things from all over the world, not just their own productions. Inspiring, inventive & like nothing else on earth.
It is also the same age as me (Although I think the Theatre, situated in old of Norwich's many churches that aren't churches, has aged considerably better!)
Although my Puppets will be quite different, I just wanted to share this wonderful place with you, if you ever get the chance to go, for godsakes GO! You can also Adopt A Puppet, which is possibly the cutest idea ever.
I have found it incredibly hard to find a decent video of one of their performances, so I will share with you another Norwich Institution: The Puppet Man:
Puppets make everyone happy. Happy Sunday to youse.
