(jolly music)
[00:00:08.360]
I am the puppet designer and fabricator.
[00:00:11.350]
There are about 150 puppets.
[00:00:13.560]
Some of them can be as simple as a skeleton arm.
[00:00:17.670]
And then some of them are a full blown horse,
[00:00:19.480]
like a full-scale horse.
[00:00:21.050]
And including character heads and butterflies.
[00:00:26.310]
The biggest challenge
[00:00:27.550]
is that none of the puppets operate the same way.
[00:00:29.950]
And the learning curve on this one has been elevated.
[00:00:33.710]
The planets are paper lanterns.
[00:00:35.870]
They'll be illuminated from the inside by the performers.
[00:00:38.260]
The horse and the ox are
[00:00:39.770]
a new type of puppet that I haven't done yet.
[00:00:41.900]
The heads, they'll all blink.
[00:00:43.240]
And their ears will move and their mouths will open.
[00:00:45.170]
But with these ones,
[00:00:46.003]
their legs are attached to a wheel.
[00:00:47.910]
All the mechanisms will be blacked out,
[00:00:49.360]
but their legs will actually move
[00:00:51.610]
as they are wheeled out.
[00:00:53.090]
And then we have shadow puppets.
[00:00:57.980]
This production is.
[00:00:59.840]
I call it a fever dream.
[00:01:01.240]
'Cuz puppet do nothing but make you believe everything.
[00:01:04.210]
So I have a puppet for every mood.
