Of Hearts and Hands: Traditional Chinese Puppet Exhibition
The newly-formed, non-profit organisation Hong Kong Puppet Centre display some of the most colourful and interesting string people. Traditional and modern marionettes feature, some with amazingly intricate embroidered silk clothes and others from Chinese legends. The exhibits appear rather staid as they’re kept behind glass to preserve them, but the centre’s staff will pull them into life if you ask nicely enough. Full marks to the curators for keeping an almost-lost tradition alive.
