Thai Puppet Theatre

WE had dinner at a dinner theatre Wednesday night.  Wonderful meal, a little shopping through the night market, and then the pupper show at Joe Louis theatre (no relation to the American boxer).

This was a very stylized show.  Imagine watching a puppet show about the story of Adam and eve, with no backdrops to suggest anything, and three puppets, Adam, Eve, and the snake.  But you don't understand english and the movements are very stylized and they only show a couple of "scenes"  creation, the snake, the apple, adn that was it.

Of course the Americans understood when the puppet was of Michael Jackson and he did his usual dance (stylized of course) to Billie Jean.
