OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

In the universe of images by illustrator Theodor Kittelsen, who presents us with a whole popular legendary universe of Norwegian culture, humanized beings appear, as well as animals and trolls. We drew inspiration for this puppet from these figures.

The figure moves on stage as part of a group of different animals whose characteristics of movement and personality are given by direct manipulation. The actor manipulator puts his finger through a hole in the puppet's head and moves it around the stage and the manipulator's body. Sometimes the manipulator uses parts of his own body to give the puppet a more corporeal presence. The remaining available fingers are used for movement, illustrating it, as well as for holding, pulling or pushing fabrics, scenery, and props.
