懸絲傀儡
懸絲傀儡又稱懸絲木偶、扯線木偶、扯線傀儡,粵語又稱扯線公仔,是一種以繩或線操作的傀儡,用於演出傀儡戲。In the Western world, they originated in medieval France and are found in every country in the world. The word "marionette" is French, it was a diminutive of "Marion", which, itself, was a diminutive of "Marie". Marionette puppets are found in box theatres, curtain theatres, and black light theatres. Marionettes are considered very entertaining, for both adults and children; the Italian boy Pinocchio is a particularly famous marionette.
In the cinematic musical The Sound of Music there is a detailed scene with marionettes on a stage, in American television of the 1950s, there is the very famous marionette Howdy Doody, and in the 1960s, British TV producer Gerry Anderson and colleagues pioneered the technique combining marionettes and electronic components, typically to control the marionettes' faces, which they named "supermarionation".

[编辑] 西西里懸絲傀儡
西西里 is home of two prominent folk art traditions, both of which heavily draw on the island's Norman and Provençal influences. The sides of donkey carts are decorated with intricate, painted scenes from the Frankish romantic poems, such as The Song of Roland; these same tales are enacted in traditional puppet theatres featuring hand-made marionettes of wood, this art is called Opira dî pupi(傀儡歌劇)in 西西里語. The opera of the puppets and the Sicilian tradition of cantastorî (說唱) are rooted in the Provençal troubadour tradition in Sicily during the reign of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, in the first half of the 十三世紀. A great place to see this marionette art is the puppet theatres of Palermo, Sicily.
