OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
This character is the magistrate in charge of applying justice and watching over the Isle of Lizards, ensuring that the orders of the governor, Sancho Panza, are carried out. However, as he observes Sancho, he realizes that he embodies a justice that is blind, corrupt and devoid of fairness.
The puppet, equipped with a mouth mechanism, rests on a vertical rod fitted into a belt attached to the manipulator's hip. In this way, the weight of the figure is supported by the body of the puppeteer, whose own legs become those of the character, giving him full mobility in the scenic space.
His emblematic costume and bluish-green headdress reveal him as a figure on the fringes of reality. His face, created from a mold of actor Sérgio Moras' face, gives him a unique presence.
OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :
Performed in 1733, “The Life of the Great Don Quixote de la Mancha and the Fat Sancho Panza” was António José da Silva's first play, “The Jew”. An ironic interpretation of the play criticizes justice and the “walls” that Europe erects.
