"Las marionetas siempre tienen que tratar de estar vivas", dice Adrian Kohler de la compañía de marionetas Handspring, un grupo afamado de actores humanos y de madera. Comenzando con la historia de la sutil  garra de una hiena, los titiriteros Kohler y Basil Jones cuentan la historia de su último hallazgo: el muy bien logrado Joey,  el Caballo de Guerra que trota (y galopa) de manera convincente en el escenario de TED.

Handspring Puppet Co.: el genio detrás de las marionetas de War Horse

Puppetry transforms lifeless materials into creatures that breathe, quiver, and seem to feel. Building the life-sized War Horse, three puppeteers studied horse behavior and engineered every ear flick and breath to convince audiences of the illusion. Each puppet is handmade, with cane frames and mesh skin, allowing it to move with uncanny realism. Even the simplest movement, like simulated breathing with a puppeteer's knees, helps bring the puppet's inner life to the stage.
