Puppeteer Pilots Giant Chicken Costume

Info from Licensor: "Marysia - The Giant Hen. It's a 30kg biomechanical hybrid puppet powered just by a puppeteer inside. Very dynamic for this size and precise. My main goal was to reach as realistic movement as possible. Build time with all unique mechanisms took 2 years. This is how a puppet looks after over 100 shows. I'm going to upgrade this project in the near future.
The 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, we have 32 people living in this place (with 2 international theaters hell yeah). I said that I'm really bad at fighting by using documents, but I might have an idea for a puppet that could make this problem very loud. We won by blocking investment. Art Of Notion - Lukasz Puczko.
