Tobias Husemann – Development and puppet construction
Tobias Husemann develops and stages large puppets that create spectacular shows, events, and walking acts. With the characters Dundu and Bimbi, his team transports audiences into a poetic world unique in puppetry.
The figures, up to eight meters tall, appear both powerful and delicate thanks to their net-like structure. Their human appearance and astonishing mobility are created by an innovative game concept: A five-person team of specially trained players gives them astonishingly vivid expressiveness.
Dundu and Bimbi offer space for projections and draw on the ideal of Heinrich von Kleist’s “Gliedermann” (“Articulated Man”) – one reason why they touch audiences worldwide so deeply.
