Spanish puppeteer Javier Aranda tells a life story using nothing but his two hands and the contents of a sewing box. Described as a small gem of a production that stretches what "handmade" can mean, the show follows a life from birth out of the sewing box, through discovering one's own body in the meeting with love and dreams, to the inevitable ending, when the world sways and the soul drifts on.
The piece is marked by a streak of playful madness and warm humour, offering a light-hearted yet tender look at what it means to exist. Aranda also directed the show, with set design by Val Ortego and music by Lucía Bernal.
Aranda has another performance of the same show at the same theatre the day before and the day after this one, so there is more than one chance to catch it.
