Desenhos de Cena / Scene Drawings: Cinderela at Montemor, Alentejo

Cinderela at Montemor, Alentejo

Marionetas do Porto presented Cinderela at Montemor-o-Novo's modernist cine-theatre Curvo Semedo. This is a wonderfully magical universe, three actors, one of them a music player, relate to the puppets as friends, co-authors. Truly one of the most puppet theatre companies in Portugal. No one will ever forget the frantic Seven Dwarfs jumping on Cinderela's tummy! My sincere congrats to the Associação Alma d’Arame for their warm welcome.
