Exceptional audience

Last week's Monday was the full moon and it also was the last day of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations. All in all, two weeks. We had dinner in a restaurant in front of our campus and when we left, around 7:30pm, we walked by the small temple close to it. This time, there was a small truck with a big square hole or window on its right-hand side to be used as the stage for a puppet show.

The show was already on, with the usual amount of shouts and special effects, but the audience consisted of only a woman on one side and a man standing behind one of the doors of the temple. Fortunately, it seems that it did not matter if there were a few, or no, human onlookers, because the performance was intended to entertain the gods that live inside the temple. I wonder how the puppeteers will know if they liked the show.
