An Asian puppet show / TOEIC

I’m watching a show on a stage (platform). Ten members (characters) are playing now. They’re human shape characters, but not human itself. They’re wearing a whole body costume including the head, or they may be marionettes, though I can’t see any strings on this photo.
I can't decide which, because I don't know the scale of the platform.
It might be very small.

They have a white face with large ears, and are wearing oriental clothes. Their sleeves have white lace wings.
The wear is basically reddish and colorful. They’re wearing a cap/hat too.

I think they’re the oracles, the servers of God.
Or they’re the maid of honor, the servers of the king.

The background curtain is basically red in color, with two dragons drawn on it. There are rainbow-color frills at the edge of the curtain.

I think this is an oriental show, maybe China, or India, or South-east Asia.
I don't think this is not Japanese origin.

Two characters are standing both on left and right side.
The remaining 8 characters are sitting on their knees, in two rows and four lines.
