A team of five puppeteers controls a five-meter-tall puppet Dundu illuminated with LED light and created by German doll maker Tobias Husemann during a show in Shenyang city, northeast China's Liaoning province, 15 May 2018. Coming all the way from Stuttgart, Germany, Dundu (also spelled as DUNDU) is far from being an ordinary puppet. Created by Tobias Husemann in 2006 in collaboration with Stefan Charisius, a kora player, Dundu was born after intensive research of puppetry, specifically giant puppets. This five-metre-tall figure is a high-tech puppet with a sophisticated design, made mainly of fiber and aluminum. Dundu weights almost 20 kilograms and is steered by five puppeteers. Illuminated with LED light, Dundu walks the streets to improvised music on the kora, a stringed instrument from West Africa. According to the Dundu's creators, the figure serves as an inspiration, as it connects cultures and spreads hope across the globe. Infusing streets and public squares with sense of vitality and joy, inciting curiosity and laughter, Dundu creates a unique commotion and stirs good feelings in the hearts of passersby.
