The Gelatinous cube frame was constructed out of plastic conduit, as it had more strength when under tension than standard PVC at that diameter. They also had curved conduit right angles as opposed to the chunky 90 degree bends in standard PVC pipe. We stretched metallic green spandex over five sides frame to achieve the wet and bouncy appearance. The flexibility of the conduit frame also helped with the bounce. A slit was left in the front so an actor could get “eaten” by the cube. Puppeteers would pick the frame up from the inside of the cube and walk it on stage, as well as pull the slit open to consume the actor.
