Ai de Mim, Ai doEu! | 5 october, Festival Marionetas na Cidade, Alcobaça

from Trupe Fandanga

5 october, 4:00 pm | 27th Festival Marionetas na Cidade, Alcobaça

Ai de Mim, Ai DoEu! intends to explore the search for an ephemeral puppet made of clay and hands, which accidentally strips itself of its ego and haughtiness. A solitary character, in a landscape of spoils, forced to live according to what they provide him. Road accidents, company, fears and better half…

So beautiful and so brutal, a body of flesh, an almost human Pinocchio. So sure of herself and her Self that she doesn’t look at her fragility. What happens if you lose your shape? Does it also lose its reason for being? And where does this persona move and discover? In the same space where he was born. In the chaos of the workshop where he walks and finds himself, stumbling among a thousand and one objects from ancient gleanings, piled up and coupled together, indifferent between tools and pieces of clay.
