The hope behind the larger-than-life puppet is to make sure nobody forgets about the children fleeing war, violence and oppression around the world.
Little Amal was built by the Handspring Puppet Company in Cape Town, South Africa, which also is responsible for the puppetry behind the play "War Horse." It took approximately five months to make Amal, and requires the internal puppeteer to stand on stilts that are over 3-feet tall. The internal puppeteer controls the movements for her legs, head and face, while two additional puppeteers take on her arm movements.
