these are designs for the actresses playing mermaid's on stage. they hang around as the set while puppets give the visual representation of mermaids. i don't think i like these colors. i think i would do them in green scale.
Rod puppets for one, something simplistic and stylized. To me the tech is a image so the audience understands the context and setting, but the performance is still in the hands of the actor. It isn't about the life like- realism of the puppet
Can imagine the puppets that'd work well with these- but you'd have a problem with size of those puppets unfortunatley- whether they were two person or one person operated. Love the concept, and it'd be awsome to see what puppets work with these, so much better then the uh- roller skates that are currently used.
