Visiting productions include Spanish company Compañía Itinerània‘s intriguing “Titeretú” (“You are a Puppet”), an interactive street installation, consisting of five gigantic mechanical constructions and a puppeteer's hands made of wood and steel. It allows its viewers to actively participate in a play of balance, accuracy and coordination and thus become a puppet themselves or rather a part of its mechanism.
There is also an accompanying programme of films, exhibitions, a seminar, and Masterclasses with Fabrizio Montecchi and Federica Ferrari (Teatro Gioco Vita, Italy), and Galia Levy-Grad (Israel). Full details here:
