Summary

[edit]
Description

This is Little Amal, a 3.5 m (11 ft) animatronic puppet which represents a 9-year-old Syrian refugee girl who is on a walk from Syria to the United Kingdom to find her mother. The travelling event from Syria to the UK was called The Walk, and was organised by Good Chance and the Handspring Puppet Company. This set of photographs was taken at Wentworth Castle near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. The puppet is controlled by three puppeteers: one to each hand, and one inside on stilts.

The puppet's feet thunder on the ground like a cartoon transformer robot, because the stilts are heavily weighted for balance. This makes exhausting work for the interior puppeteer, but it gives the puppet a powerful presence. The mayor of Barnsley greets Little Amal, with the official photographer in attendance.
