Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Fire Breathing marionette dragon


Ax and Mathieu,
   That is precisely what he's doing. I saw this fellow up close at
Charleville. There's a small nozzle located I think just underneath the
dragon's maw. It is a wonderful looking act - probably the best 'walkabout'
act I've ever seen, puppet themed or otherwise. I do wonder what the dragon
is made of...somehow I doubt it is wood, unless it is specially treated in a
way I do not know about.
   There was another fire breathing puppet at Charelville, a two foot high
marionette made of some metal, who would hold flaming torches in his hands
and do a fire spitting act with them. Both acts look great, though I did
notice that if you design a marionette to breath fire there's probably not a
lot else he can do (both acts though lovely to look at, especially at night,
were fairly short. Once the fire-breathing gets old that's all she wrote.)
