I’m Columbine marionette – the star of all theatrical performances

Pierrot loves me, that much I know, but I still need some time to decide if I want to be with him exclusively. I enjoy dancing and having fun, preferring to perform on stage rather than being confined at home. Don’t you think I’m beautiful and elegant? Help me change my mind and create your own version of the story. Let’s weave a puppet tale together with a happy ending.

I am an original hand-carved and hand-painted Columbine, and I would love to become a part of your theater or a cherished addition to your collection.

In case you didn’t know, Columbine is a character from Commedia dell’arte. The original Columbine wore heavy makeup around her eyes and patched dresses, symbolizing a maid. Over time, her appearance evolved into a more elegant form, as you can see with this puppet.

Commedia dell’arte is a form of theater based on a combination of fixed, established characters and improvisation. These characters appeared in each show with slight variations. All actors had their own masks for immediate recognition by the audience, and they often played the same character throughout their careers. The actors memorized their lines and mastered their roles. Before each performance, the actors devised a loose plot outline and ending, which they followed, while the dialogues were created spontaneously on stage, allowing for flexibility and adaptability based on the audience’s reactions.

This marionette is designed for professional puppeteers and those just beginning their puppetry journey. It is meticulously hand-carved from linden wood and painted with precision using oil paints, resulting in a unique, handcrafted puppet. Please anticipate subtle inconsistencies when comparing it to the images on our website.

This original hand carved and hand painted Columbine can become a part of your theater or collection.

This marionette is intended for advanced puppeteers, but if you have will and want to learn to play with marionettes after few days of exercise you will progress and play well.
