little stories without words
The show presented by L’Alinéa company consists of three short piéces. The Sack brings to the stage three puppets confronting a voracious sack, presenting a classic theme of traditional puppet theatre that is still relevant today. Petit Sisyphe compares a ‘ lunar-looking ’ puppet with the hand that moves it. Oedipe, on the other hand, raises a question: who is the owner of himself, the puppet or the puppeteer?
