Character Note from the Cigány Theater at Oz
 
In the Cigány Theater at Oz, every traveler arrives carrying more than a costume or instrument. They bring stories, symbols, and fragments of old knowledge gathered along the road. Some performers entertain, some guard secrets, and some carry the quiet wisdom that guides the troupe from one world to the next.

The Knife Thrower (Henry Hamburger) The Knife Thrower 
— known among the troupe as Henry Hamburger — is one of the most legendary performers in the Cigány Theater. A fifth-generation knife thrower, Henry possesses a precision that borders on the unbelievable. It is said he can split a toothpick from hundreds of yards away while blindfolded, guided only by instinct and years of disciplined practice. Yet for all the danger in his craft, Henry is known among the troupe less for his knives than for his humor. His quick wit and easy laughter have carried the theater through many difficult journeys, reminding the performers that courage and joy often travel the same road. Despite the dramatic nature of his act, Henry has a surprisingly gentle heart. He travels with a small entourage of feline companions who wander freely among the wagons, curling beside lanterns and sleeping atop costume trunks. In the world of the Cigány Theater, Henry stands as a reminder that skill may command attention — but kindness is what earns a place in the traveling family. Thank you for supporting original artwork and the living world of Oz.
