Curiosity There are two identical bigheads

In 1952, due to the bad condition of the city’s first Dodger of Flies, a second Dodger of Flies, a bighead with many similarities to the first, was purchased. Although he also received the name Wart, he has not a single one; he was, however, associated with the name because of his predecessor.

He was the only survivor of the inundation of his set of bigheads. As soon as he was ceded to the puppetry troupe the Friends of the Giants, a copy was made in fiberglass. The two are dressed in habits, and from this comes the name Frairet.

Unlike the other bigheads of the city, they are smaller, and instead of looking out from the mouth, the perfprmer looks out through the holes above the eyes and other orifices, such as those of the nose.
