Agnė Muralytė (LT)
Je m‘évanouis

The puppet performance “Je m'évanouis” (eng. The Fall) is speaking about fragility of human existence. It tells a story about one man’s life and the situations he got in. The performance is sensitive and comic. The play was created with the assistance of Claire Heggen, the director of „Théâtre du Mouvement”.

Agnė Muralytė looks for the relationship with the puppet both as a puppeteer and the character of the play. Actress's movements take an important part in the show because there is no verbal communication used.

Stella Mangana (GR)
Nude

""When i looked closely i saw. I saw a body struggling to breathe. I saw a body acking to stand. I saw a person standing, aiming to walk. I saw a person walking. I saw a person walking, alone ,in cities alone in woods. I saw a person sleeping. I saw a person shivering with fear. I saw a person scream. I saw walls. I saw mirrors. I saw another person. I saw sea. I saw moon. I saw. I saw day. I saw night. I saw HUMAN."

We are Nude beings in front of the eyes of nature, our existence is so fragile hanging by a thread but we always can transform and escape. This hand puppet theater performance,for all audiences, is about the journey of life through loneliness and the importance of the Other that has the power to transform our whole existence.
