(gentle cheerful music)
[00:00:07.659]
(smoke machine whooshing)
[00:00:12.020]
I'm really excited about the puppets
[00:00:13.680]
in "The Way to the Way."
[00:00:14.640]
We're doing a form that we call blackout puppetry.
[00:00:17.710]
So that's when the puppeteers
[00:00:18.990]
are dressed completely in black.
[00:00:20.770]
What happens over time
[00:00:22.080]
is your eye completely eliminates the puppeteer
[00:00:24.300]
and you just believe the puppet that's in front of you.
[00:00:27.060]
Now on top of that, we're dealing with very large puppets.
[00:00:30.770]
Like, you may have noticed the horse behind me,
[00:00:33.450]
or you may notice this turtle right here.
[00:00:36.107]
(puppets clanking)
[00:00:38.320]
These puppets were made by our puppet maker
[00:00:40.520]
and designer Jill Hibbard; she's incredible.
[00:00:43.190]
And so she's created the rigging systems that are used.
[00:00:45.800]
And the puppets range from very, very small puppets
[00:00:49.690]
to shadow puppets to these very, very large puppets.
[00:00:54.110]
