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 Their costumes are 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.

Sometimes it is better to write They Are rather than they're.
They are the Oracles, they are the maids of honour.
The background curtain is basically red in color, with two dragons drawn on it. There are rainbow-color (COLOURED) frills at the edge of the curtain.

I think this is an oriental show, maybe China, ( CHINESE) or IndiaN, or South-East AsiaN.
I don't think this is not OF Japanese origin.

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

Supperman you have better eyesight than I, I cannot see that picture very clearly.

It is entitled Puppet shows, so I think they are probably marionettes. try to avoid using the word BASICALLY too often. It is overused in this country.
