OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

In constructing the puppets and their costumes, we tried to get closer to an idea of rurality, where this character, in front of the fireplace, narrates a tale that is the basis of the show's story.

Inspired by traditional Romanian folk costumes, the details of the various items of clothing, as well as the features of the face, define a social class, but they also define an age as well as a time.

This puppet, characterized by its tabletop manipulation, is manipulated by means of a rod in the head and a hook in the torso, while the limbs are manipulated directly by the hand of the puppeteer depending on the action required.
