A giant puppet is coming to Auckland's Aotea Square in February.
Hand-woven using over one kilometre of rope, and more than 600 LED lights, the behemoth is named Leor and stands over four metres tall, and is designed to be puppeteered by the 12 people at once.
It's part of Auckland Live's Summer in the Square, and the puppet's creator Leon Hendroff talks to Emile Donovan about his dear creation and the art of puppeteering.
