Dreamthief Puppets
The Dreamthief is a show currently running in the National Theatre of Iceland.
The story follows rats learning to navigate their hierarchical society and interacting with the world around them.
We took on the task to build the shows puppets which included a cat, bird, seal and human hand and foot. These were all built to a large scale to sell the illusion that the actors are rats. Charlie Tymms was brought in to the theatre to design the puppets and built a set of miniatures, We then had the pleasure to work with Charlie to scale up these designs for these oversize puppets.
