Object Theater based on the work of Gabriel García Márquez
Two storytellers find a strange figure in their kitchen: a very old man, lying filthy on the floor and unable to move his enormous wings. The neighbor says he is an angel. The priest is of another opinion: the man must be an impostor since he doesn’t speak Latin. The stranger, who has been put into the chicken coop for the moment, becomes the sensation of the town and unleashes a wave of pilgrims: some hope to be healed, others just want to have a look. But they leave the village different from how they arrived.
Dan Colley’s productions uses the power of object theater and tells the short story by Gabriel García Márquez with objects and puppets made from kitchen utensils. In doing so, they create a poetic space on the search for the beauty of the text and its emotional richness that opens up basic questions about human imagination.
