| | PERFORMANCE: TAIWAN GLOVE PUPPET THEATER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | In general, a show needs two performers: the main performer who generally is the chief or director of the troupe, is in charge of the whole show, including manipulating main puppets, singing and narrating. |
 | | The supporting performer manipulates the puppets to coordinate with the main performer, changes the costumes of puppets, and takes care of the stage. |
 | | The five shapes (two eyes, two nostrils, mouth) and three-bones (the eyebrow-bone, the cheek-bone, and the jawbone) determine the characteristics of the puppet, such as pretty, ugly, loyal, crafty or the different emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow and delight. |
