Fecha: 28th and 29th July 2014

"Dar vida a un títere", by Neville Tranter

Participants will be “coached” into giving life to a Puppet, manipulate it and create and perform a short scene, with or without text, with or without elementary musical instruments. “The simplicity of puppets, combined with their suggestive human masks and suggestive movements, can entice the audience into a fantasy world which give glimpses of the human soul.”

Taking advantage of the performances of “Stuffed Puppet Theatre” from Holland in the city of Barcelona with his latest production, “Punch & Judy in Afghanistan” this coming July, there will be an encounter/workshop with Neville Tranter on the 28th and 29th.
