Great photos of Taiwanese puppet shows!

They seem to use pretty big rod puppets with relatively small heads. 
The body and the clothing make a big statement. The puppeteers hold the 
puppets up high, that would take some endurance.

And they seem to let the puppeteer's head show over the stage floor! 
You have the puppets on stage with human heads sliding around on the 
floor looking up at them.

What do you call the stage floor in a puppet theatre?
