I stumbled upon the Theatre Museum and was delighted to see the Teschner puppets in a room to themselves. The puppets are quite amazing to see up close. His theater with the circular proscenium was in the center of one wall with rows of chairs lined up in front of it. Fliers in the room gave me the impression that they were presenting live performances with his puppets periodically. I am curious if any of our European puptcritters can confirm or correct this impression. I'm hoping to find some time over the holidays to update my website and get some photos from the Theatre Museum in Vienna and the museum at the Obraztsov theatre in Moscow added.

Teschner filmed a fair number of his productions in the 1930s - I have seen excerpts from perhaps half a dozen of his productions in the Theatre Museum in Austria. There is also a one minute clip in a newsreel available via the British Pathe website. (Go to http://www.britishpathe.com/product_display.php?searchword=Teschner and click on add to basket and then download video and fill in your email addres and you'll be sent a wmv file of this) I discuss Teschner in my recently published articlein Asian Theatre Journal, Contemporary Wayang in Global Contexts, and include a number of photos that haven't been published previously.
