The faux puppets are called "sin daw mintha minthamee" -- Big Stage female and male dancers --

it is considered the height of art for people to dance like puppets and puppets like real people.

Lisa made this video piece around 1997-98. I read my own poetry.

It is wonderful how this piece has remained so relevant, also of course, very sad.
