Cirque du Soleil Cow - 2024

In 2024 we were approached by Nicholas Mahon to create a large longhorn cow puppet and a mounted singing head for a Cirque du Soleil production.

We decided to give this puppet a covering of fleece fabric then spray and spatter on the coloured dyes.

Tiny Tim who we built for Afrikaburn in 2023 returned to the road as "Nana" in 2024.

Nana appeared in Johannesburg, Oudtshoorn, George and Cape Town, then crossed the oceans to appear in Austria and Spain. She has now settled in Spain with the BRAVA Arts company.
