Will it be possible to face up the reality when its installed with its pessimism in our daily newspaper?
Mr. D. tries his chance and dives avidly into the newspaper... desperately seeking for good news in a world of ghosts where the matter is changing.
Paulo Duarte invites us to reflect, through this visual theatre in miniature, proposing a dreamlike universe, between the everyday and the fantastic, combining shadows, light, video and a puppet...
This small form show, initially created for the VI Great Small Works Toy Theater Festival (New York, USA, 2003), was presented twice in FIMFA (2003 and 2005) and has recently undergone a 'recreation', with a new artistic look.
