“Do Birds Have the Capacity for Fun?“ reminds us that the world is not and should not be anthropocentric.
It is for this reason that we have chosen a subtype of puppetry as the form of the play – the theater of objects. Man leaves things behind – personal items and intellectual creations, created to facilitate his survival or entertainment. They attend many important events and historical moments that sometimes have direct consequences on them.
With the advancement of technology, an increasing number of household items are acquiring new functions. On the other hand, we discard them all the more easily and, because of some minor defects, replace them with new versions.
THIS FORM OF THEATER IS ALSO VERY ENVIRONMENTAL, BECAUSE THE BASIC IDEA IS FOR THE PUPPETS AND SCENAGRAPHY TO USE PRE-EXISTING OBJECTS AND MATERIALS THAT HAD THEIR OWN LIFE, HISTORY AND SOME OTHER EXPERIENCES, WHICH WERE PART OF SOME OTHER PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS.
