Synopsis
PIPA does not want a quiet and peaceful life. He wants to play, have fun, fall in love, live life ... But he will find a world full of surprising characters: Mister Tofol and his selfie stick, Nina and her ice cream, the Banker and his machine, and even a very hungry crocodile and its bubbles. It is a crazy, often surreal and tender comedy for puppets.
Visiting Stratford from Spain, this comedy for all ages is inspired by the traditional Catalan glove puppet shows that have been performed throughout Europe for generations. PIPA invites audiences to participate in the action and influence the rhythm of the show. Come join in on the fun!
“(...) The highlight of this story is its vigorous rhythm, lasting
about 40 minutes, that grips the attention of the young and
old full of innocent tomfoolery (or perhaps not so innocent).”
Josep Maria Viaplana. Portal Jove Espectacle. 05/16/2016
