Villes en Scène > "Parias"

As part of the "La Manche met les villes en scène" festival, join us at the Théâtre des Halles in Tessy-Bocage for "Parias", a puppet show starring Javier Aranda.

A puppet show as virtuoso as it is poignant.

Broken heads, volcanic temperaments or silent solitudes, the lard-heads we meet in this show are what we call outcasts. And yet, Javier Aranda makes them terribly endearing, casting a gaze on them that is sometimes annoyed, sometimes moved or amused.

With a fluidity of gesture and acting, Javier Aranda moves in the blink of an eye from simple manipulator to playmate of a living, talking puppet. There's magic in this incredible way of manipulating puppets that are more alive than life, and emotion galore.

Special Jury Mention at the Huesca International Theatre and Dance Festival (Spain), Parias is a jewel as virtuoso as it is moving.
