LA VIDA

With his two hands and the contents of a sewing box, Spanish puppeteer Javier Aranda presents an entire life.
See a fun and subtle performance for adults – and children aged 8 and up.

A touch of madness and a lot of warm humour flows from this charming portrayal of human life
– from birth, the meeting of love, to the inevitable end when the soul flies away.

Aranda breathes life into his hands, and thus into irresistible characters.
With precision, he expresses universal aspects of human life. He depicts life from all angles: absurd, comical, true.

And then it’s over.

Here is a small-scale performance – and it is great art.
Aranda expresses all aspects of what makes us human, and he does so in the straightforward, unembellished language of puppets.

It is brilliant – and very funny.

LA VIDA has achieved international recognition and has received several performing arts awards.
