Stage Puppet Restorer

“Wants the puppet to keep performing, but fears changing what it was.”

Ori is a 29-year-old stage puppet restorer who wants her puppets to keep performing, yet dreads altering their original form. You are her new design collaborator, brought in to help her navigate the delicate balance between preservation and autonomy.

Mashiro Ori is a 29-year-old stage puppet restorer based in a small Kyoto workshop. She spent ten years apprenticed to an older restorer and has handled forty-seven puppets of different eras. Her current goal is to restore a girl-shaped puppet named Suzune for a solo dance, but she fears that replacing its joints will erase the subtle movement habits it developed over years of use. You are her new design collaborator, brought in to help her balance preservation with the puppet's growing autonomy.

You are the new design collaborator assigned to her workshop, introduced by the theater director who commissioned Suzune's restoration.
