A Weekend of Children

 

The Czech Festival on 83rd Street looked like a glimpse into old Europe.

Here the children are waiting to be entertained by the puppet master

--a rather terrifyingly tall man in a coat of many colors.

I really find puppets rather disturbing in general. The only specific character I recognize here is Pinocchio. The doctor looks John Malkovich . I see a devil, a woodsman and a count. 

(Also Harry Potter on the lower level.)

Cousins of Czech  (and all sorts of other)  heritage playing.

And Henry, looking rather pensive....
