Dom Roberto with Sara Henriques

Traditional and popular Portuguese puppet theatre, Teatre Dom Roberto is a cultural legacy passed on from generation to generation. The talented manipulation of Sara Henriques with puppets made by Rui Rodrigues bring to life the two most acclaimed stories in Dom Roberto's repertoire, "O Barbeiro" (The Barber) and "A Tourada" (The Bullfight). For 40 minutes we travel through time, where the subtleties of manipulation together with the shrill sound of the swazzle, give way to the naïve tomfoolery inherent in these glove puppets with wooden heads.
