"As marionetas tentam sempre estar vivas", diz Adrian Kohler da Handspring Puppet Company, uma trupe de atores humanos e de madeira gloriosamente ambiciosa. Começando pela história da delicada pata de uma hiena, os bonecreiros Kohler and Basil Jones avançam até à história do seu mais recente assombro: Joey, o Cavalo de Guerra maravilhosamente realista, que anda a trote (e galopa) de forma convincente no palco TED.

A genial arte de marionetas por detrás do Cavalo de Guerra

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.
