About the Show – A Peek into the Wild World of “Dolls”

Synopsis
Many years ago, when animals lived together in the same village, some disguised themselves as humans to escape the hunters, while humans transformed into animals to hide from predators like the wolf—and to better catch their prey. Even today, one must look carefully to determine if the fox in front of us is truly a fox, or if it’s actually a person disguised as a fox—or perhaps even a fox disguised as a person!
Brief Description
Just as traditional tales play an essential role in a child’s development, Dolls unfolds through interconnected narratives that create a transformative journey. The blending and experience of the archetypes serves as a process of transformation for the central character—perhaps even as a kind of coming-of-age ritual.
In Dolls, the “girl” travels through various stories inspired by traditional African folklore. She loves watching wildlife documentaries. On this particular day, she feels the call of the jungle within her and sets off on a journey to hunt for stories. She crosses the sea, travels through North Africa, journeys across the Sahara Desert. At night, she passes through the Sahel region and reaches the unknown place where story-telling trees grow. What she sees in her wildlife documentaries is very different from what she experiences on this journey.
The teaser will be available soon!
Bonecos [Dolls] is a production by Red Cloud Teatro de Marionetas, co-produced with Teatro Aveirense/ Câmara Municipal de Aveiro and with the support of Direção-Geral das Artes. Partnership with Festival Internacional de Marionetas do Porto, Museu da Marioneta e Junta de Freguesia de Esgueira.
