Extract
The art of puppetry in Egypt dates back to ancient times and the rule of the Pharaohs.
Puppet performances, and so-called shadow theatre productions, were also popular during the Ottoman Empire.
Determined to keep the entertainment form alive, is Egyptian Mohamed El-Sawy, who in 2004 established the El-Sakia Puppet Theatre.
The puppet enthusiast's passion even extends to carving the mannequins himself, and hand-stitches their costumes
C'est super beau !
