Burmese marionette theatre – or yok-thei pwe – was developed during the reign of King Bagydaw in the early nineteenth century and was the forerunner of live theatre. There are still a few master puppeteers in Burma, but the skill is dying out and efforts have been made to train youngsters in the art.

I love these marionettes! When I was a child I always wanted one.
Do these neck braces make the women's necks longer? Is it some kind of tradition to show how wealthy the family are?
Very informative blog.

Tem os que passam
e tudo se passa
com os passos já passados
tem os que partem
da pedra ao vidro
deixam tudo partido
e tem, ainda bem,
os que deixam
a vaga impressão
de ter ficado

Beautiful. I managed to find six puppets - and surprisingly the material used of the costume on one is the same as my mother's longyi! Thank you for a beautiful blog on Burma.
