The Mysterious Visitors
Two extraordinary figures appear on the streets during the
@karneval.berlin , otherworldly yet strangely familiar. They are called The Mysterious Visitors, seemingly arriving from a parallel world of ancient ecosystems and ancestral intelligence. One stands tall at five meters, a giant named Sevant, who pulls behind it a curious wheeled carriage. Within this carriage sits a smaller being, one meter in height—its name is Oro.
Their relationship is ambiguous: is Oro guiding Sevant, or is Oro being carried? A child, a master, a spirit? We don’t know. But one thing is clear: they are entangled, moving together with intent.
Their journey seems both ancient and futuristic, evoking the mythic quality of nomads and the cinematic resonance of avatars. Their walking is not aimless; it is generative. As they travel, they produce long, organic ropes, born of the mechanical motions performed by Oro inside the bicycle-like carriage—pushing pedals, turning handles, activating an unseen mechanism. These ropes are not props. They are invisible threads made visible, each one the materialization of experience, observation, and emotion gathered along the route.
The Mysterious Visitors are not here by accident. They have been sent—by a planet or consciousness unknown—to help restore what we have lost: the vital connection between human beings and the natural world. In their eyes, the disconnection is a planetary wound. Their mission: to re-weave the fabric of coexistence.
Together, Sevant and Oro form a symbiotic whole—body and soul, gravity and impulse. Their interdependence suggests a new kind of myth, one in which power is shared, direction is fluid, and transformation is mutual.
Each puppet is brought to life through a finely synchronized ensemble of nine puppeteers, whose unified movements echo the deeper theme of interconnection. As the puppeteers move as one body they enact the core of the message:
“No action exists in isolation. Every pull is felt. Every shift ripples outward. Every motion is a shared creation.”
