Vai via of ZeBU and Xirriquiteula Teatre (Catalonia)
Rita is an old woman who lives on the street in a converted double bass box. In the box she hides an alarm clock, her dentures and a picture of her children. Every night she kisses them goodnight before going to sleep in the safe cavity of the double bass box. During the day, she trudges around the streets of the big city, and although she is often chased away, she never gives up hope of finding a quiet place to sleep at night. How did she end up there, why do you always see her with a smile on her face, what was her life like?

The performance is recommended for everyone from the age of 6 and plays at ZeBU on Saturday the 12th of October at 11.00.

In the workshop of TOF Theater (Belgium)
In the workshop is a small puppet show where everything goes off the rails. 20 crazy minutes that tells about the little accidents that happen during the construction of a doll. The puppet decides to take matters into its own hands, and it doesn’t take long before it is in a deadly battle with the materials, the tools and even the puppeteers themselves, whom it begins to tyrannize and cost around…

The puppet show is recommended for everyone aged 8 and over and plays at ZeBU on Sunday the 13th October and Wednesday 16th October at 11.00 and 14.00.
