Taiwan 2024 - Temple Dedication, Puppet Stage

This guy was set up across the street from the drama featured in yesterday's post.  The stage was smaller in this one, which used only puppets.  Again no one was hanging around to watch the act.  No matter to them, probably, as the only purpose was to appease the gods and/or ancestors while enhancing the stature of the nearby temple.

The pic below reveals what it was like "backstage":
