Performers participate during “Cartooon” by the University of Chicago's Theater and Performance Studies program in Chicago, Illinois, in this image released on January 13, 2015 by Chicago International Puppet Theater. The first annual Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, which opens on Wednesday and runs through Jan. 25, is about the many forms of contemporary puppetry – from marionettes, masking and shadow puppets to tabletop puppets and larger-than-life installation characters that tell stories that are both epic and innately intimate.
