CENSORSHIP PUPPET SHOW

At various points during the CENSORSHIP puppet show, these things happened:

The puppet on the left would move his small arms and

1. put his hands over his ears
2. put his hands over his eyes
3. put his hands over his mouth

While the puppet on the right would act out various portions of 14th century commedia del arte complete with small props

With the EYES, the puppet on the right had a small commedia del arte mask held on a stick in front of his face, while another hand came up behind the puppet's hand to stick a small stick into the puppets hand (held with a light tan velcro sewed as the puppets "paw" ... and on that stick would be a huge horn that commedia del arte actors had used to suggest a large penis, a sight that outraged the bourgeoisie and they'd go into legal battle and suppression of those troupes, too, to drive them out of existence.

The puppet on the left would pull back in shock, turn and ball up, and shiver, then rise up again in outrage.

 
When the point was made about CENSORSHIP, which was at the end,
another puppet would come up in the middle

the puppets would all move into position to imitate the three monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) which was a way of empowering the audience to remind them how to behave, as well.
