Río arriba

"What is it about you, my red earth, that I carry you with me everywhere!" (Ramón Ayala) On a blue night, the green jungle is crossed by an orange river. A monkey is in charge of ensuring that nothing disturbs this landscape until a menacing visitor arrives... A work based on Guarani legends that combines puppet and object theater, acting, and technology applied to art in pursuit of a fantastical tale for children. The legends are "Yacy and the Primitive Beings," "The Timbó Tree," "The Tale of the Boy and the Peccary," "The Irupé Flower," and "Legend of the Pombero."
