Rising up through the shadows emerges the formidable Folkmanis black dragon puppet. Elaborately detailed with hypnotic eyes, serpentine skin and reptilian accents, this legendary creature comes to life with movement in the mouth, forked tongue and arms. Pull the cord at the base of the tail and the wings open out to their full span.
The dragon that sits on a hoard is the oldest role European storytelling has for him. In Norse legend Fafnir guards the stolen gold until Sigurd cuts him down. In the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf a dragon wakes because a fugitive lifts a single cup from his barrow, and burns a whole country for it. Dragons of this kind live underground, in caves and burial mounds, and the darkness belongs to them as surely as the gold does. On stage a figure like this does not set the plot in motion; it is the reason anyone sets out at all.
Did you know that dragon bones were a traded commodity for centuries? From the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, European apothecaries sold bones taken from caves as medicine. The Drachenhöhle near Mixnitz in Austria owes its name to finds of exactly that sort. Only in 1794 did Johann Christian Rosenmüller identify them as the remains of an extinct bear, the Ice Age cave bear.
