[Music] King Kong is a 20 foot tall 2,400 pound of marionette puppet he has a steel structure like his skeleton on the inside we won't have this ripped muscular form so we use these stretch muscle birds that are unable to get this continuous cupful form as it moved our Kings company dancers are working very very hard in the show to make our Kong come alive the Kings company come in and and bring their heart and souls to manipulating his arms and his legs it's like they're at Kong soul and his inner thoughts the most exciting part about it is how epic he is and how exciting is as an emotional character we have a bunch of mechanical actuators that dual the expression and they're all operated by three other puppeteers of our stage so there's one Operator that does just the facial expression another operator that does the shoulders and the spine and there's an operator that does the neck and the voice and they operate live through these voodoo wreak controls a vocalist is controlling one of the booty rigs at the same time he's vocalizing into a mic piece and Peter Hill into gear the sound designer has developed it's black box of magic that takes his voice and modifies it to make it sound more gorilla-like and enables us to have everything live you're always fresh they're taking their cues off hand and so there's real time performance happening every single movement every breath every gesture is infused with life nothing about him is not alive he makes me want to be a better and a stronger actress because I have to constantly be aware of what he's doing and in listening and being so present the Sainz between home and Pandora as emotional as rich as anything I've ever seen on a stage you [Music]
