DUNDU
Puppeteer Tobias Husemann, his partner Stephan Charisius and their team have managed to make a mechanical mannequin which combines enormous size and imposing appearance with natural charm and grace, Dundu.
Not only does the incredible 5 meter height of the puppet make it so special, the innovative design of a transparent body made of individual strands makes Dundu quite unique.
This particular kind of technology and design lend the giant puppet Dundu exceptional beauty and unparalleled playability. Technically, Dundu is a masterpiece and represents a true novelty in the world of Marionette Theatre.
Since his creation, Dundu has been confronted by many interesting challenges. His perfect flexibility and his astonishingly human-like movements always provoke amazement and delight. Dundu captivates his audience, creates a quite unique atmosphere and enters into a whole new dimension of Puppet Theatre.
As one can see in the above photo: Dundu's appearance at a Prinz Magazine event, the giant puppet succeeds in capturing and reflecting the colours of the floodlights. These lighting effects add to Dundu's fascination.
