The cross was sculpted in the summer of 1991.
The
horse drawn caravan stops in the shade .Equipped with an ax and
dressed in a loincloth Caerlynn , looking for rolled wood , went
to cross the river . After a while he found the piece of boxwood
which seemed dry enough and was left there hanging in the branches
by the last swelling of the river .
Some days later the cross was finished ; one year after this , during
the wintercamp , the work of the marionette itself did start .
This happened in a special kind of mood of
simplicity and naivety which , mixed with the nobility of the materials
used are , without any doubt the very essence of LIPOU .
He
is the descendant of the beings of silence . He is the elf of the
forest the healer of flowers .He was knighted Chevalier du Carcassès
. 7 years throughout he did enchant the medieval cité of
Carcassonne and its visitors .
He is the very soul of the Wynfyd theater.
