OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
Part of a beautiful set of cultural mediation programs on display at the Museu de Alberto Sampaio, this puppet belongs to a group of figures that are part of a new stage in the company's technical exploration, 3D modeling and printing. It was a process of understanding with various stages and comprehensions of what it means to build and how the manipulation reacts, as well as the puppet's needs in order to make it more agile and effective in the movements required for its presence on stage.
With an upper rod and a hand rod, this very expressive puppet has simple movements with some limitations, where the manipulator is hidden from the viewer's gaze.
The creation of this figure involved the joint participation of several artists who modeled, printed and assembled the many pieces of the figures, the artist who did the painting and the artist who made the costumes. It is important to emphasize the premise that is a generic characteristic of puppet costumes: lightness and freedom of movement, which implies the choice of specific fabrics that do not create excessive friction or limit the figure's mobility.
