His famous No handed Glove Puppetry saw him perform live on The X-Factor in the UK in 2008. It was brought to Taiwan by immigrants who came from. Glove puppetry has been lasting for a long time since the middle of 19th century. It is a type of Chinese opera that uses glove puppets to tell stories, including the popular folk tales. 'Tell a thousand ancient stories from a single mouth, and create a million troops with ten fingers' (GIO, 2004), this sentence proforms Taiwanese puppetry. Glove puppetry has been a very big part of the entertainment industry in Taiwan for centuries. He has performed on many talent shows across the world most notably in the UK and Japan. Glove puppetry is what we call 'Budaixi' in Taiwan. The most famous glove puppeteer of today is Jon Ellis. With few exceptions, from traditional glove puppetry to modern performances, human vocal music and operatic singing is rarely heard. Several key points of a show to be appreciated include: the dexterity of the master puppeteer's manipulation of the puppet, the accompaniment of the orchestra, and the poetic spoken parts of the voice actors.
The second half consists of the puppet master, the orchestra, and the spoken parts. Glove puppetry performances, similar to some types of Chinese opera, are divided into a first half and a second half show.ĭuring the first half, known as the "show platform", the audience is shown a demonstration by a master puppeteer on the stage. In previous years, the puppets used in this type of performance strongly resembled "cloth sacks," hence the name, which literally means "cloth bag opera."
When performed, a gloved hand enters the puppet's costume and makes it perform.
The puppet's head uses wood carved into the shape of a hollow human head, but aside from the head, palms, and feet, which are made of wood, the puppet's torso and limbs consist entirely of cloth costumes. Moving and therefore transforming from outdoor performances in villages and city neighbourhoods to television and the internet, glove puppetry reflects the vitality of Taiwanese culture and folk art. It had since established itself more firmly and contemporarily as a popular art form in Taiwan. Glove puppetry (Chinese: 布袋戏) is a type of opera using cloth puppets that originated during the 17th century in Quanzhou or Zhangzhou of China's Fujian province, and historically practiced in the Min Nan-speaking areas such as Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, the Guangdong region of Chaoshan, and other parts of southern China.
