Giant Minotaur marionette by SqueakingTribe

865,00 AUD

The half-man half-bull hybrid from the ancient myths of Classical Greece is perhaps one of the most familiar. Aggressive, bestial and with a blood-lust for young Greek men and women who were fed to him as tribute, I still maintained a soft-spot, indeed a love, for the Minotaur as a misunderstood monster left alone and maddened at the heart of its Great Labyrinth. The claywork was revamped from an older Minotaur I made for an exhibition back in 2002 and now has REAL bullhorns, as well as being a superior piece. He is heavy to use for extended periods but has a huge impact on people and moves incredibly well for such a large-scale marionette.

Our marionettes are very easy to use, have excellent movement and can be used by absolutely anybody from the age of 4 up! Dance them to your music, tell stories from inside you, display them as art or just freak out your friends… Life is a little less vibrant without an interactive effigy to share it!

This particular marionette doll's approx 100cm tall or 150cm hung.

The hundreds of marionettes we make are individually created so no two are ever the same. If you'd like a specific colour/theme in the ranges we offer, feel free to ask - we will customise it for you! Otherwise, if there is a design you want that we haven't made yet, contact us with some ideas and support material and we will create one specifically for you.

100% handcrafted puppets, marionettes and interactive effigies by Byron Bay-based artists, Sol and Sara. A crazy, colourful and fantastically-fey exhibition of creatures and characters celebrating the vibrant melting-pot of world culture. Legends and Stories, from the Dawn of Time and into the Near-Future, abound in this unique display of individual artworks. And remember: Puppetry is INTERACTIVE artwork - PLEASE TOUCH!!

We individually hand sculpt the basic character and counterweights (head, face, hands and feet) from raku clays fired to stoneware temperature; everything else is from found objects and up-cycled materials. As a result, we keep our prices low enough to offset the time and labour involved, charging little to nothing for the 'art' and so selling direct to the public at an accessible wholesale cost.

We've been making marionettes in Australia since 1996. We exhibit hundreds of our particular interactive effigies at various markets around the country but more so the larger, more prestigious festivals and events. For more of an idea about us and what we do (and where we'll be!), make sure to find us on Facebook… "The Squeaking Tribe Workshop" page :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Sol and Sara
