Transit, the Journey of Juanillo Cabeza

2004

Juanillo is born at this very moment, inside a cube in view of the audience, where he will learn to fall down and get back up.

Juanillo is born at this very moment, inside a cube in view of the audience, where he will learn to fall down and get back up, to walk his particular journey and to make do with the world in which he is destined to live. Juanillo must continue on his way, straight ahead, always moving forwards because the show must go on.

Levante EMV

"A well-structured and original formality bring this staging to life"

Synopsis

Transit, the Journey of Juanillo Cabeza is the result of a collective creation in which the themes of education, reality and indeed, the world we live in are all questioned. The constant on-stage transformations of the actors, dance, the use of puppets, the use of both body and voice to create different spaces, together with the illusion of shadows, all show the great artifice that is theatre, giving form to a comical metaphor full of irony which leaves the audience with a certain bitter-sweet taste.
