Info from Licensor: "Mechachicken. Marysia - The Giant Hen. It's a 30kg biomechanical hybrid puppet powered by a puppeteer hidden inside. Very dynamic and precise for this size. My main goal was to reach as realistic movements as possible. Build time with all unique mechanisms took 2 years. Idea for this size of a chicken puppet came from a specific situation. Around 800m from our village in Poland, we found out that somebody is planning to build one of the biggest chicken factories in Europe. As a tiny village with only 32 people living in (with 2 international theaters in it). I said I might have an idea for a puppet which could make this problem loud by media. We won after blocking an investment. Totaal Theater. Art Of Notion. Credit: @lukasz_puczko"
