Animated doll with different techniques to play a role in a show. The name appears to be an onomatopeya, since in the puppet theater some puppeteers used a tongue or cornet in the mouth to warp the voice or simply emit a sound ( "trii-trii-trii") that replaced the words and that the audience understood the same. Since the 'puppet' is handled by a person, so too are those who allow theself to be manipulated by others. See puppet, tritrite.
