3. Storytelling puppets

View Map map

Karetao were not toys but were used by expert storytellers to describe the amazing deeds and adventures of a tribe. Karetao could also dance in time to rhyming songs.

How do you think these puppets move? Can you see the cords behind the puppet? If you pull these the arms of the karetao move.

Or you can hold them by the base and shake them so their arms tremble – this brings the karetao to life.

Now turn around, and look for stop 4, the case in front of you.
