LOCKDOWN
took my mind back to an old Czech city, Telč
– a dreamscape
a baroque layer cake
and Český Krumlov, a couple of hours away
where there is a garret full of old marionettes
like the forgotten attic of a master puppet maker
they swing from the rafters
marionettes –
they are not quite of this world but have a quality that is very human
uncanny
two hundred of them hang from the beams of St Jobst Church
in old Český Krumlov, deepest Bohemia
Telc is an amazing place. I had the chance to visit the former Czechoslovakia before the fall of Communism back in the mid-“80s: what a trip!
