From the web:
"In FRAGILE, a wordless work of magical puppet theater, a charming Chaplinesque compagnon finds that the road on which he travels curves and changes—and also happens to wobble, wiggle, droop and tease. With only his can-do spirit and a suitcase, our earnest French friend shows us that pluck and resilience can make marvelous adventures out of irksome obstacles. The company’s stunningly simple puppetry is set to enchanting original music, gently introducing a world that is as human and realistic as it is dreamy and whimsical."
Below is a picture I took of Peppito with Marina Montefusco, his creator-director-playwright. She leads the ensemble named Le Clan des Songes. "Fragile" is a perfect example of the potential of "small" - here, a very small ensemble of creatives (3 puppeteers and a composer) of high integrity have produced a perfect piece of theater. Focused. Inventive. Emotional. Bravo! Sending appreciation to the various French cultural services for collaborating to bring this ensemble to NYC in 2013.
