ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

The Little Marionette Company

Okay kiddo, so a marionette is a type of puppet that is controlled by strings. They are usually made out of wood and cloth, and can be really fun to play with.

The Little Marionette Company is a group of people who make and perform with marionettes. They put on shows where the puppets move around and talk, just like real people!

The people in the company have to work really hard to make the marionettes. They have to carve the wood and sew the clothes for the puppets. Then they have to attach strings to the puppets so they can control them.

When it's time for a show, the performers stand behind a big curtain and use the strings to make the marionettes move. They also use their voices to make the puppets talk.

Watching a Little Marionette Company show can be really exciting, because you never know what the puppets will do next! It's like watching a little play put on by wooden actors.
