Nullpa's Triplets
Inhabited puppets - Stilts
In Nullpa, this distopic universe where all the old objects of humanity are found, The Triplets are formed little by little thanks to our scraps...
Embark on this playful and poetic adventure inspired automatons, period objects and mechanical contraptions of all kinds. The Triplets of Nullpa is a roaming street performance featuring three hybrid puppets standing 4.2 meters tall on stilts.
Our intention is to immerse the audience in an unforgettable encounter that tangibly transcends the boundaries between reality and imagination. With the surprising expressiveness of the puppets, we bring the Triplets of Nullpa to life with authenticity and boldness.
Inspired by the Steampunk movement, the show addresses underlying themes such as overconsumption and planned obsolescence, showcasing our vision of a dystopian future. Through this clownish and surreal adventure (the poor triplets share a single brain among three...), the audience is invited to reflect on their own limits and to revisit their openness to imagination, surprise and play.

In addition to the street performance Les Triplets de Nullpa, we have developed three animated video capsules combining different mediums such as drawing, collage, stop-motion and real film. Through their phone, viewers will have access to these videos which will transport them into the world of Nullpa.
Nullpa's Triplets explore our relationship to giants, literally, but also in a broader sense. Caricatural representation of the giants that crush us on a daily basis: the economy, the military, globalization... And like these disproportionate entities, The Triplets work thanks to tiny little men who work in their center... us, the simple humans.
This achievement is inspired by the three-way clown game, legends about giants, trinities, planned obsolescence, artificial intelligence, obsolete objects....
They are inhabited, hybrid, prosthetic puppets. They were made using a multitude of various techniques: sculpture, molding, drawing - patronage, sewing, patina - mechanism design and other puppet assets... they even have a small piece printed in 3D!
