OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

The puppet was built by turning the wood until it resembled a sphere, where the nose, the eyes and also the element that characterizes it, its hair, were constructed using small wooden elements.

Manipulated using only the puppeteer's index finger, which enters the sphere, the puppeteer's other hand is used to give the puppet its body, with the thumb being an arm and the middle, ring and little fingers the remaining arm.

The puppet moves as if it were a glove puppet, traveling vertically at different heights and moving within the range of the manipulator's arm and body, performing with several figures at the same time.

OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :

The aim of this creation was simplification, allowing a dialogue with very young audiences through movement, as well as the construction of characters by expanding the emotional dimension that characterized them.

This character, like the other characters who accompany the manipulator, who is also the main character in the show, comes out of the same suitcase.

Spring was late arriving in a small garden, where winter had prolonged its slumber. Hedgehog woke up later and asked Spring, the main character, to explain why. So begins the story loosely inspired by Oscar Wilde's short story “The Selfish Giant”.
