| Fonctions : | Chinese hand puppet theatre continues to be an active form of popular entertainment on Taiwan. In general, it has a long (over 2,000 year) history which reached a peak of activity during the Ch'ing Dynasty. At this time Fukinese hand puppet theatre reached Taiwan and by 1900, 500 troupes were touring the island, playing during seasonal festivals, religious celebrations, birthdays, weddings and banquets. Traditionally, 7 men made up a troupe, 2 to manipulate the puppets and speak the roles, and 5 musicians to provide accompaniment and sound effects. Plots are adapted from novels, fairy and folk tales, history and from supernatural events. Short comic scenes opened the presentation, followed by long plays. By 1900, in Taiwan, puppet theatre began taking on distinctive Taiwanese traits, and after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Fukinese puppets were no longer imported. Puppets became larger (closed to 50 cm., rather than 25 cm. High) and less finely carved. Costumes are patterned on Ming Dynasty dress (1368-1644C.E.), and iconographic style often follows Chinese opera. |
