«A little marvel. A beautiful and intense show.»
Silvia Limone, Krapp’s Last Post, Torino
«A work of an excellent workmanship.»
Toni Rumbau, Titeresante Magazine, Barcelona
SoloS is a comical and tender gaze through the keyhole of the home of one of many invisible old men.
An old radio solaces the routine days of Aurelio. Many years have passed since the last muffin batch got out of his bakery, a couple of weeks since he stepped on the street for the last time and barely a glimpse since he doesn’t remember what he had forgotten. Not noticing it, he has awakened the sleeping voice of the objects which, animated by his delirium, disguise into puppets to tell him their secrets.
A poetic spectacle to laugh at life.
ymedioteatro has developed a proposal where actors and puppets support each other to tell the very same story. An obsessive work of precision with the aim of transform the simplicity of everyday life into magic. A very personal way of lighting up the privacy of the puppets that the company began on its former show SIE7E, which is still touring all around the world.
