A button in my head

THE PLAY

A Button in My Head (Un Botón En Mi Cabeza) premiered in 2009 as the Company’s debut production. It blends traditional techniques, such as glove puppetry, with a renewed dramaturgical and scenic approach—an original, universal, and philosophical proposal that moves toward a new form of Puppet Theatre.The dramaturgy, staging, craftsmanship, and performance were all carried out by the Company in a symbiotic process. The play has been presented in 28 countries, participating in more than 100 international festivals and translated into 7 languages: English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, and Romanian.

TRAJECTORY

INTERNATIONAL REVIEW

“There is a plot development of certain complexity that regards boys and girls as true spectators, without underestimating the capacity of the young audience. A scenic approach that delves into the ‘puppetry’ of the puppet, emphasizing the act of bringing inanimate matter to life through the puppeteer’s action.”
Joaquín Melguizo, Theater Critic. Heraldo de Zaragoza, Spain.
