Giant Puppets!
Bigger than Life!
Twenty Foot puppets will get your attention........ |
MMasks and puppets are prevalent in many cultures around the world. Large scale puppets are larger than life which generates imagination and connect people to something greater than themselves. Building large art pieces can lift one’s esteem through the process of creating and performing at a festival or pageant. Most of the materials used in the large scale puppets are recycled which model how "to make something out of nothing."
