Overview
This hand puppet named Old Man, was the first puppet Norbert Hausberg ever made. Norbert migrated to New Zealand from Germany in 1983. He brought with him a life-time love of puppets and a personal connection to the German puppetry tradition. He was one of the key contributors at the 2015 ‘Out of the Suitcase’ puppet festival in Wellington. He continues to produce new shows and performs throughout New Zealand and overseas.
