Petrushka (also known as Punch, Pulcinella, Kasperle) loves the Ballerina, but she fancies the Moor. Petrushka has his own chord, the Ballerina has her ballet shoes, and the Moor has a turban. The Moor kills Petrushka with a curved sword. Petrushka’s spirit appears on the top of the puppet theatre and scares Charlatan, the puppet owner. The audience has no idea which part is real and which isn’t.
