Mathieu,

If you attach a string to one arm/hand, run the string to a point in  
the body (through a screw eye, say), and then down to the other arm/ 
hand, movement of one arm will bring a corresponding movement to the  
other.  Marionette hands are often strung on a single continuous  
string for the same reason - i.e., both puppet hands can be  
manipulated by a single pull on the string.  Also, while I'm not a  
rod puppeteer, I believe it's not unusual for a puppeteer to be able  
to manipulate both rods in one hand, depending on the size of the  
puppet.
