Pearl of Combat

Costume Designer

A puppet adaptation of an old Finnish mythological poem, which tells the tragic story of the war child Kullervo. The production featured 3D and 2D puppets of different scales and functions, from tiny handheld wooden puppets presented to the audience in a small theatrical box, to live-sized shadow puppets created by donning human actors behind a shadow screen with a variety of large body extensions.
