OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
This show was performed in the castle of Santa Maria da Feira, where each character occupied a different space in the building's architecture, in the format of a journey show, where the audience would sporadically meet various characters who narrated tales and emotional ponderings, which supported not only the historical context, but also the characteristics of the space visited.
This figure, a human-scale puppet, is manipulated by the actor as his companion in a duality of interpretation of the puppet, in a game of counter-scene of the actor in an interpretative unfolding. The figure has no legs, which are borrowed by the actor's movement, giving the figure an ethereal character.
