A WOODLAND OPERA

CLONTER OPERA THEATRE

​

The magpie is a single-person puppet, which can either be flown low or mounted on a pole to be a high-flying puppet. There are wire struts in the wings and tail to allow them to quiver in flight. The head is separate from the body to give a full range of movement.

 

The fabrics are all scraps that were already in Clonter's costume store. The plastic sheet was scraps left over from Heironymous the Owl puppet.
