Global puppets make friends with Shanghai children

Some Shanghai children made new friends over the weekend. More than 20 puppet shows from around the world performed at the third Shanghai International Puppet Festival.

This little ghost has come all the way from England to meet children here. And puppeteer Jose Navarro also brought seven others, including a musician, an Indian goddess and a ballet dancer. One of his acts gave local families a pleasant surprise.

An audience member said, "I felt so itchy when the little ghost was moving on my hand, but I really love those puppets."


Troupes from 12 countries, including Russia, Serbia and France, also put on shows over the past three days, involving all types of puppets.
