OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

This is a puppet that needs to be defined in several dimensions in order to understand it. The character's face is based on the face of the actor Janela Magalhães. It's a puppet whose body is itself a piece of furniture with a belly that opens to reveal another theater within the theater. This figure was inspired by a puppet created by puppeteer José Carlos Barros. This brings together various inspirations.

When the belly is opened, a short story is told inside, and we find some puppets as if it were a theatrical altarpiece, puppets representing Adam and Eve and their expulsion from Paradise.

The puppeteer stands behind Master Pedro, and his hands are used as the character's hands. He moves around the space using wheels that give him continuous movement.

It is thus the reading of a set of symbols and meanings conjugated through the work of various creatives.

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.
