Subject: [Puptcrit] Liege vs. Sicily


Dear friends,

I have a note from a workshop that traditional Liege rod puppets used  
in the Charlemagne stories only have a rod to the head, whereas the  
Sicilian variety also have a rod to the sword arm. Is that correct? Do  
the Belgian variety not have arm rods traditionally? The battles must  
be wild affairs. Any references, leads, or recollections would be most  
welcome.


Thanks so much,

Jamie Ashby
