The puppets have the first unique fiberglass control. Fiberglass control is extra light and it is practically "invisible" for spectators.
The five puppets appear one after another.
All five puppets are operated by one puppeteer simultaneously.
Funny Company is a multilingual vignette. These charming puppets sing in Russian, English, French, Turkish and in other languages.
