Orlando

Orlando, a marionette handcrafted from wood, papier-mâché, brass and fabric, mixes styles typical of the Middle Ages and Sicilian Baroque. The marionette armour is handcrafted from 42 individual pieces. Each piece of metal is worked on according to traditional puppetry techniques. The papier-mâché face, painted in acrylics, presents an Orlando without moustache, as is the tradition in Syracuse. The frame is made of pine and beech wood.
