Sinopse
What do a Swiss Army knife, a pop song from the 1980s and a white van called Moby Dick have to tell us? After moving around several places in this city and in others—fairs, beaches, museums and other popular gatherings—the “Objetoteca popular itinerante” [Travelling Popular Objectheque] now comes to FIMP in a version especially designed for Teatro Campo Alegre. The “Objetoteca popular itinerante” is itself a hybrid object. Based on the love encounter between a travelling library and a commercial van, this is the performance of the popular encyclopaedia of everyday objects. Real and imaginary, material and immaterial objects presented live together as never before seen!
Teatro de Ferro was established in 1999. Initially intended as a label for the creations of Igor Gandra and Carla Veloso, the company has been working with puppets and objects. The relation between the body-performer and the manipulated object, and the commitment of each spectator to build that same relation constitute lines of thinking that are always present in our artistic practice.
