22nd Ishara International Puppet Theatre Festival. Variations (Italy/ Non Verbal, Musical/ 55 mins) Dir. Remo Di Filippo & Rhoda Lopez. Performed by Di Filippo Marionette. Proto is no ordinary puppet - he’s born right on the stage, popping out of the hands of the ManipulActors! Proto wiggles, dances & shows us that he’s alive. He knows he’s connected to his puppeteers through his strings, but that doesn’t stop him from exploring everything with curiosity. Adding more sparkle to Proto’s adventures is singer Rhoda Lopez, whose live songs fill the stage with emotion! It’s a performance packed with laughter, surprises & a magical message that audiences will carry with them: that every person has a story worth telling. Ticketed show.
