About the show
Bambalina has taken a lot of care over the staging components: lighting, music, special effects, handling, puppet construction, etc. On this latter I have no objection, just the voices, which I found unfortunate. As for the dramatic anecdote one has to say that, trying not to fall into the false transcendence or the work’s thesis (a problem with many marionette artists), the story created by Vicent Vila is purely and absolutely fantastic: water that neither soaks or drowns, trees that talk, a unicorn that travels through outer space… At any rate does it let escape the message that desire is omnipotent (in fact omnipotence is imagination).
