What Is Cabaret Puppetry?
The cabaret style of puppetry is a marionette variety show, where puppets approximately 3 feet tall perform a vast array of acts referred to as vignettes (short skits). Puppets sing, dance, play musical instruments, perform circus tricks such as juggling, do comedy, magical illusion, tell jokes, stories and more. They interact with the audience and usually do so without a stage enabling the puppets to be very life like and to walk right up to the audience members. As the puppeteer pulls a few strings the marionettes captivate audiences and leave them spellbound.
