OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

Since the puppet is manipulated directly, where the actor's hand enters the puppet sculpture itself, the manipulator uses his own body to give it a quality of movement that is close to the speed, weight, and articulation characteristic of the deer.

This is an exercise in character building that combines the study of the animal's characteristics with the analysis of the manipulator's movements.
