PUPPET SHOWS


We have an english version of one of our puppet performances: "The Princess and the Dragon".
Our plays have been performed in non Spanish speaking countries; Sweden, Finland, Austria, France, Marocco, Denmark, Switzerland and Holland. On these cases, the performance must have a narrator who reads supporting texts in the native language.
Our scripts always have positive values; fair trade, coeducation, ecology…

Our group will adapt to the sound and lighting equipment provided at the proposed scenic setting.

Our puppets are big, from 1 to 1.9 m, a size which allows them to be seen well in large spaces, they can move their mouth and walk. The average number of puppets in each performance is 20.

We can send different videos of our performances by post .

The programming organisation need to charge travel and accommodation expenses. The charges vary according to the number of performances; please ask for an estimate via e-mail.
 

THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON

The Princess and the Dragon

Artimañas, the dragon, threatens to destroy the country Tranquilia unless he can eat the Princess for tea. She decides to tell him a few home truths, but her father doesn't allow her to do so. Rimas, the gardener in love with princess Valentine, is the volunteer who wants to calm the insolent dragon, taking his harp and his poem as the only weapon. Artimañas, who can't bear his music, holds him prisoner, threatening to eat him and trample the whole country if he does't get the princess. Valenna, tired of this annoying neighbour, decides to intervene at once... (4 to 12 year olds) 
The scripts are available on Web in Spanish
.



STREET THEATRE


La ballena acariciada por los niños
The performance "Planet Earth" is a show about ecology. There are positive characters: clowns, a whale of two meters lenght, a dragon with six meters from the head to the tail, the planet earth, in the top of a wheeled structure of about three meters height; but there are also negative characters, the contaminators, who try to contaminate the dragon, the earth and the whale.
The clowns, unpleased by the contaminators's actions, turn them to clowns and make them clean the dragon, the earth and the whale.

When they are all clean, we use a big, transparent cloth of 10 x 10 meters for an underwater scene, with the whale swiming in and the kids playing with the cloth. At the end, we make some games with parachutes, led by the clowns.



The Planet of Ñapis
The performance has live folk music, with a band of three musicians playing all over the hour that the show lenghts. This performance could be made in a square or avenue, with a maximum route of two kilometers.

Overview of the four tales included in the video:

oToo much noise.

The peace of the woods is disturbed by the noise made by the neighbours of a nearby village. The animals also decide tomakenoise in the village, and finally all agree to be more silent.

o The ambitious tillerman.

If we cut all trees, the wood will become a dessert. Castor, Lundra and the Eagle show the tillerman that it is better for all of us to preserve our woods than cut them down.

o Let's save the river.

Castor and his friends suffer the consequences of a polluted river. With Lundra's help, the old forestman, they try to find solutions.

The wood is dirty because people keep throwing their rubbish all around. This situation causes an accident. Castor and Lundra will help resolving the problem.
