VIVA! is a true story about a Spanish family torn apart by the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship.
On stage, a desk. In its drawers, small objects—chalk, tape, a stapler, a pencil sharpener—attempt to piece together history.
In this quest, humor, like a breath of fresh air, illuminates the shadows.
VIVA! explores the collective responsibility lurking within individual actions, the weight of family and societal silences, and a country’s capacity to be reborn.
VIVA! won three awards at the 2024 Lleida Festival (Spain)
A favorite performance at the latest edition of the MIMA Puppet Festival in Mirepoix (Ariège)
