Professional Puppets
Who can help me in Puppet theater (in Iran) ?
I want some one specialist and professional in puppet theater, it is better to be in Iran that I may visit him/her to get help.
It looks like the person to approach would be Behrooz Gharipour. This man is a genius if he has created a puppet version of the opera based on Macbeth...
Quote:
Aran Puppet Theater Group, headed by Behrooz Gharibpour, started to perform the second puppet opera in Ferdowsi Hall (Rudaki Foundation of Art and Culture). This opera, created by the great musician Giuseppe Verdi and based on Shakespeare’s tragic play of Macbeth, has never been on stage in the form of puppet show before...

Quote from his biography page:
To perform the Puppet Opera of Rostam and Sohrab continuously, I changed the decoration workshop of Vahdat Hall into the special hall of string puppet show, by support of Roudaki art and cultural foundation. As ever, I was attacked by those who do not work if it is not to their benefit.
After the success performance of Rostam and Sohrab (known as the renovation of Iranian opera), I migrated from the hall that I had made and performed the opera in some Iranian cities that I could tolerate grief of being far from my last renovation. Now again it is my turn to design and direct the second puppet opera of Macbeth and bring to the stage from July 2007.

If you register with his fan club you can probably contact people in Iran who can help you.

This is extraordinary work. Thanks for asking the question, else I would never have been aware of these developments.
There are three schools of puppetry listed at the Wikipedia sites about puppets and puppetry:
