Pescador (Fisherman)

Synopsis

Silencio Blanco’s third production unearths the intimate universe of those that live off the sea, characters submerged in a lonely trade, in the face of nature’s magnificent immensity.

Fisherman tells the tale of a man who, with his boat and fishing net, establishes an invaluable connection to his trade. A craftsman residing in places that have become strange and foreign to us.
Through expressive marionettes and truly eloquent objects, actor/handlers coexist in a space where the company’s aesthetics and research are brought into new directions.

A white marionette stands up before five human bodies in name of the courage and heroism of all of whom it represents. A gathering in silence in all its shapes and forms, a gathering in the dance of silence.

Press

- EL MERCURIO

“Pescador, a small jewel with a deep poetic charge that can be enjoyed without words, with a silence that seduces us.”

- MARD TEATRO
