This guy is always sitting across the street from the Café Brasileiria and the Pastelaria Benard, and he's the one street performer who is a constant in that area of Lisbon. The performer, well, at least his upper half, is hidden in the box, allowing him to operate the puppetry. It's pretty beautifully done. Truthfully, he doesn't actually look that different than his puppet.
He doesn't like to take pictures of him unless someone leaves a tip, and who can blame him. I always leave him something, even if I've just been watching him from across the street at the Pastelaria Benard writing, so I feel empowered to post this picture. Come on, people, if you stop by to enjoy the show, leave the guy something!
