Trupe Fandanga
24 May | Mar~Marionetas, Espinho
“Os Lobos de Pedra” is a boy’s journey into his heart, the place where a pack of wolves lives. Sometimes all is smooth sailing, sometimes battles ensue. Using puppets and a mobile scenic device, we propose a demystifying and interrogative look at the wolf’s character, an intertwined mix of wild and terrible, with a fair and loyal side that is natural to him.
In Prokofiev’s original “Peter and the Wolf” story, the wolf is the excuse for the boy’s innocent wickedness. In the beautiful wordless stop-motion version by Suzie Templeton, one of the references of this show, the emphasis is placed on Pedro’s density and the way he transforms, overcomes, and discovers his courage in saving the wolf that ate his best friend.
Os Lobos de Pedra will be presented in Espinho as part of Mar~Marionetas – International Puppet Festival.
This puppet show tells the story of a boy’s journey into the depths of his own heart — a place inhabited by a pack of wolves, sometimes calm, sometimes at war.
