Pull up a chair.

Grandmother Lupa reads children's stories, with her jaw moving on every word, her head turning for each character and her eyes flaring at the good parts. She tells them from the wolf's side, naturally.

What makes them perform.

Talos is our show-control software. It gives each creature a character, a voice and a sense of timing, so jaw, eyes, gestures, lights and sound all land on the same beat.

  • Script a story once and it plays the same way every time
  • Or let the character improvise on request
  • Motion sensors, buttons and knocks can start a show
