Show Description
Strict Minimum is a creation combining theatre and puppetry. A solo show without words, establishing a dialogue between the puppet, the body itself becoming scenery and the manipulator. A double simultaneous story is woven, telling the pivotal points of the existence of a sympathetic being, half-animal half-human, as well as that of the manipulator, who reveals himself according to the situations. The crucial stages, the important passages of our journey and the trials to be overcome by the protagonist take the puppeteer's body by storm. Imagination, ingenuity and sensitivity meet in a point of balance linking theatre, manipulation and body, in a touching ode to life.
Reviews
"She keeps us on the edge of our seats, surprises us (...) finding herself in absurd and hilarious circumstances as a small puppet trying to gain control its own body. "
- Cesc Martinez | Theatre Critic | Puppetring magazine
