When wood comes to life to tell stories about friendship and time
When wood comes to life to tell stories about friendship and time
A visual theater proposal combining text, objects, and music, aimed at all audiences, born from the collaboration between the collective La Ruta 40, the passionate lover of the poetics of objects Xavier Bobés, and the playwright, musician, and sound designer Pau Matas. Four hands manipulate wooden pieces building landscapes, stories, games, questions, words… exploring themes such as friendship, imagination, and the passage of time. Awarded for its quality, originality, staging, and language, it reflects on how the world works and celebrates the beauty of simplicity.
