The Puppet Tears

Known for their large-scale puppeteering, Royale de Luxe's latest marionette made an appearance in the theater group's home town of Nantes. The production, The Giant of the Titanic, featured a giant who lost his sister in the Titanic sinking. He located his sister's body and buried her near the shipwreck. He then set out on a mission to locate his sister's daughter, the Little Giantess. His journey ended when he arrived in Nantes, the hometown of Jules Verne.

A sampling of other creations by Royale de Luxe:

Jim Henson Explores the Process of Visual Thinking

posted by Scott Beale on Monday, May 5th, 2008

Over the years Jim Henson created great series of muppet sketches that explore the process of “visual thinking”. It started with an episode of “Sam & Friends”, Henson’s first television series, where Harry the Hipster gives a lesson in visual thinking to an early version of Kermit the Frog.

Jim Henson then did a remake in 1966 on The Ed Sullivan Show, transforming Kermit from square to hipster, where he gives Grump a lesson in visual thinking.

Henson did another lesson in visual thinking on Sesame Street in 1971, featuring muppets voiced Frank Oz playing the square and Northern Calloway as the hipster.
