Hi, Rolande: Not exactly the same thing, but a friend of mine was asked to tell stories at a funeral. Folktales, not a eulogy.

When I told others about this, many were aghast at the idea, and thought it was terrible. People play music at funerals, why not puppets? Does anyone else have any experience (in our western traditions) performing puppets for funerals?

The most provocative/controversial moment of the overblown event seemed to be Prince doing his shadow puppet version of the Australian bred Puppetry of the Penis show. "If Prince did his penis shadow puppet intentionally - and I believe he did - it ranks as one of the all-time great pranks of modern civilization. It also sets the bar much higher for whoever does the next show." -Scott Adams http://tinyurl.com/yspw5d _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org Archives: http://www.driftline.org ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
