I Pupi, the puppet theatres, are a dying tradition.
We went to this puppet show, opposite the main cathedral, they are fantastic.
The man comes out and explains about the traditions in Sicily, the difference between Palermo and Catania schools. This is a very family affair, from his grandfather, down to his wife,suns and nephews all are part of the business.
Quite the performance, something you should see and support if you are ever down this way.
The puppets weigh about 10 - 15 kgs each.
