This is some of the coolest puppet work for theater I've ever seen

[krisherrick]

Saw this yesterday!!! I have worked analyzing cat behavior as a shelter employee and every movement of the tiger was spot-on.

Wow to think how far theathre puppets have gone if this was 1970s theathre the tiger would be a man wearing a tiger suit but this is next level like movies stage has gone a far way

[Folkmoot]

That is so cool. The theater we have here used brooms as the giant for a Jack and the Giant play, so I always clown on the theater, this is really cool (and expensive probably).

[Jan-vwtu]

I think.
This is just about the coolest shit. I have ever seen in my 5 decades on this planet. And I think about the practhe people who are part of operating this tiger must experience day after day hour after hour practicing being a body part. Or a series of movemention, how to tie your body?What a trip.It's better illusion than anything i've seen on a computer

Imagine if you used this for 3D motion capture? People usually use house cats to mimic large cats or just study them, but if you put motion capture on the puppet, then the actors could make any motion you wanted. Even exaggerated motion.

[samuelsun]

thats pretty cool this heavily reminds me of Barnaby Dixon's puppetry work

[Mrs.Jekyll]

From a horse to a tiger. I can see therians getting a job as an puppetier!

[lusciousgremlin]

Beautiful… but if I were under there my back would be killin me 😢

[alileevil]

I pretended to be a tiger when I was 5 years old. Sadly didn’t get paid to do so.

[pedromanzanalrodrigez]

Qué bien lo hacéis tenéis los movimientos totalmente estudiados de ese animal

[StreetSoundsSwirln]

Whos else clicked thinking they were reading "Lies of P: puppetry demonstration" and then thought they make a live action version of that game?!?!....wait, I dont remember any tigers....wtf!?"*
😂

At what point does it become a costume?

[anjalisreflections]

They can improve it if they modify it focussing on audience experience. From stage, it may feel more natural but from lower ground, underbelly is exposed and grabs much attention.

[faleilham]

If tiger came from Baki universe be laik.

Млечно-златая
.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
В миру прозаичном, дрянном и публичном
Вас знаю, как знает Писанье хафиз.
Июльская солнечность Вам идентична!
А Вы - мой волшебный, клубничный сюрприз.

Мечтаю, как будто о мышке лисица.
Лишь с Вами не чую безумия масс.
В тиши свежесваренный кофе дымится,
как сердце, которое чувствует страсть!

Леса небоскрёбов нависли над домом,
в каком хорошо, как в уютной стране.
Мы очень знакомы в краю незнакомом.
Нам всё нипочём, как сильнейшей броне.

В кружении звуков поём свою песню.
В бетонной берлоге любовный дворец.
Союз наш чугунный и деликатесный
приятен, как будто цветной леденец.

[WhoKnewSecrets]

Are we all just actors on a stage we didn’t build?

[moriel]

*_It would be better if they wore black._*
