OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
The giant is a character from the story “The Castle of Ghosts”. There are many ways that puppeteers have come up with to define their giant and what was done here, at a certain point in the show, was to change from manipulation by hand to manipulation with a 50 cm pole, drastically increasing the height of the puppet.
The giant is the main character in the story “The Castle of Ghosts”, imprisoning Rosa. He is also the last character, the one who makes Roberto run away because of his large scale. Rosa then descends from the tower to the castle and from the castle to the outside, eventually defeating the giant by saying, “Do you know what's bigger than everything? It's love, and love is the greatest thing there is.” and hitting it with a stick, allowing Dom Roberto to return.
