Czech Marionettes in Balboa Park (San Diego)only from Wednesday, June 7 to Sunday June 11, 2017

Big Joe uses traditional Czech marionettes (puppets) to tell the story of Princess Phoebe's Birthday Present. Czech puppetry was imported in the late 17th Century by itinerant puppeteers from Holland, England, France, and Italy. Initially Czechs assisted the foreign groups, but by the end of the 18th Century Czech companies had been established. The puppets got smaller and more stylized, and the size of their heads and hands (the most expressive parts of the puppet) became more exaggerated.
