OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
This puppet belongs to a group of figures that represent animals and moves through the hand and body of the manipulator. The figure has no speech, but it is the figure that builds and changes the entire scenic device.
This group of animal puppets has the characteristic of having only one side that looks like an animal, while the other side resembles a pebble. From Norway, where the company did its artistic residency, we drew inspiration from the beaches of its islands full of piled-up stones. At the beginning of the show, these puppets sit on top of each other and symbolize this pile of rocks, only to transform and reveal their animal faces to the audience. It's a symbolic transformation where the puppeteer uses his own body to give characteristics to the figures, in this case a mouse that moves quickly.
