OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

This puppet requires the direct intervention of the manipulator's hand to animate the character. As far as interpretation is concerned, in this case the manipulator acts directly with the character/puppet.

His flexible sponge body allows him to manipulate realistic fluid movements. The index and middle fingers are used to manipulate the puppet's legs, and the hands are articulated from two rods. The head, when necessary, is manipulated from a small rod that is hidden in the puppet's hair.

The painting of this puppet suggests a universal appeal to various cultural contexts, with some elements forming part of the show's own dramaturgy, thus emphasizing themes of displacement and the human experience of migration.

Through careful manipulation and an understanding of the principles governing human emotions, this puppet is a symbol of the human condition, capable of transcending linguistic and cultural barriers to communicate complex ideas and emotions.
