The play is an attempt to rescue short tales as communication
means. It's specially prepared for kids, due to its content,
colors and duration, but usually, it is enjoyed by a larger
audience.
Regarding plastic resources, it was searched a combination
of the puppet with the puppeteer's body besides the usual
mouth and stick puppets. Displayed in a non-conventional

of the puppet and the puppeteer.
This show has three tales, linked by a Taleteller, a
"friendly" puppet and the music, compesed specially
