Description
Based on “Poems and drawings to young children”, by G. Seferis
There was a girl from Samos
who stuck her right hand in the sand
and with her other hand
she was holding a star
this girl from Samos
Seferis’s five-line poems, written in the style of limericks, create a world of their own, wonderful and funny, where the most bizarre things can happen naturally. Small, self-contained stories, starring unlikely characters from different parts of the world – girls, children, men, young and old, one in each limerick – come to life in a musical puppet vaudeville show. Shadow theater figures and two-dimensional puppets of various sizes come to life behind, on and around an original folding shadow puppet screen.
A double bass on stage comments, interrupts and develops the action. At the same time, electronic elements, loops and processed recordings function as sound tracks for each place: Beijing, Cairo, Congo or Brazil, a coast of Samos or the banks of the Ganges.. Images, light and music, form a vivid and playful poetic universe, in full conversation with the surreal spirit of Seferis’ limericks.
