Kasper and the Devil

Kasper chases the Devil around like crazy before he strikes. As always, it's a matter of life and death! All the puppets are performed by just one person: all at once, they set the wooden heads of the puppets and the heavy frying pan in motion, making the puppets stamp and turn in rhythm. The special thing about the puppets is that they only have one leg.
