Définition :
[définition originale] "Another form of, very small-sacle, puppetry is what I call 'big-toe-theatre', also called 'mini-puppets'. They consist of two small puppets on strings, usually a male and a female, facing each other and often depicting love-making. The strings are attached to the big toes of the puppeteer who manipulates the puppets by beating his hands on his thighs. Originally they were used for divination, but now it is generally child play. They are to be found in West and Central Africa." (Anglais)
Observations sur la définition :
Big-toe-theatre (ou mini-puppets) serait la traduction de marionnettes aux pieds.
