Four articulated characters: the old hunchbacked... Lot 38

Four articulated characters: the old hunchbacked husband, marotte with rods, inert legs, and his three hunchbacked brothers. Stylized humps, H: 50 cm La Farce des Bossus', Tabarin, French farce from 1650, created in Minsk in 1995, performed in Avignon in 1996 and at the Parc de la Villette, this farce of about 20 minutes remained in the repertoire until 2022. The old hunchback Trostole goes to the court to 'collect his conclusions' by forbidding his young wife to open the door to her three brothers, hunchbacks like him, but scoundrels and miserable. The husband hardly moved away, the three brothers present themselves, inspire pity in the young woman, enter, and empty the wine barrel. Drunk-dead, the valet Grattelard will throw them one by one in the river, because the woman makes him believe that it is the same hunchback who returns under the table....On his way, he will also throw the husband there. Thus the beautiful widow will be able to marry her gallant Horace. Marottes with stems, heads in resin. Latex hands loaded with acrylic.
