Parias is a puppet show for adults in which the relationship between the puppet and the puppeteer reaches a mind-blowing degree of intimacy.
In this production, puppets are the shining symbol of the degradation and marginalisation of human beings; their stories awaken emotions that make us aware that we are still alive and have moral criteria.
Parias is moving and thought-provoking, taking up the themes and paths of classical theatre and giving the stage back its social function.
“Puppet poetry […] Parias is a clear example that puppetry presents countless possibilities and it can naturally tackle high philosophical concepts […] In short, a small jewel.“
Iván F. Mula | Teatrebarcelona.com
