The Stained Cat and Sinhá the
Swallow
|
Plot
A
bad, selfish and solitary cat.
A
cat that enjoys a bad reputation because of his unfriendly manners
among the other animals in the park.
A
cheerful, happy, inquisitive and talkactive swallow.
A

passions that she arouses around her.

The
first day of spring Cat and Swallow meet. And after a little foolish
dialogue the story of the Stained Cat and Sinhá the Swallow
begins .
|
| |
|
They
fill the time with walks and adventures, whispered words and smiles,
with expressive and languid looks.
|
|
| |
|
|
The
other animals of the park murmur: Where on earth has one seen
a cat walking and in and with a swallow? Cats are the birds' enemies.
There is an old nonwritten law that dictates: duck with duck,
rooster with hen, dog with dog ...
|
| |
|
The
cat has become a kind and friendly being. Nobody understands that
underneath his rude and rough skin a tender heart is beating.
|
|
| |
|
|
A
tender story of non-declared feelings and contained emotions.
A sweet promise in the transforming power of love.
A song to the friendship, tolerance and the nature in all its
manifestations.
|
| |
|
Two
narrators relate and dramatize the story using toys, both traditional
and hand made, animated objects, puppets made with recycling material,
shadows and other daily elements.

|
This
staging combines the poetic story in the voices of the two actresses,
the theatrical game of the diverse protagonists of the story and
the evocative and expressive power of the music.
