Century-old art of puppeteering enchants crowds in Austria


Salzburg (Austria) (AFP) – At the Salzburg Marionette Theatre, artists bring puppets to life as they perform for crowds using the theatre’s signature ‘cross’, played with one hand. It takes the puppeteers years to master their craft, and the practice has been recognised with UNESCO World Heritage status.
