Teatro pugni di pezza

​

On stage, the living memory of many tales passed from hand to hand.

The glove puppets come to life to restore to the audience the ancient power of deeds, those small and large feats that every rag hero accomplishes before the eyes of children and adults.

 

Colanfronio, a small, unfortunate hero, faces a world of improvised courage and instinctive comedy.

The adventures reveal simple truths: the struggle is often ridiculous yet necessary, defeat can be poetic, victory is never truly definitive.

 

This show doesn't just recount the adventures of a character battling a thousand adversaries: it recounts the puppeteer's gesture itself, the ancient mystery of the hand in the glove that transforms glove into destiny.

 

Stories of Gloves and Deeds is a fist that opens into a caress, theater as a serious game where the hero is made of cloth but his dreams are real.
