📖 The piece

A puppeteer, tired of the brutality of his slapstick puppets, replaces one with a real child. The attempt to change the plot fails and the child ends up in hospital.

Drawing on the tradition of Punch-style puppetry, the piece asks how societies learn violence through what they perform.

🎪 Festival IF 2026 at La Brossa

This is the third year of the partnership between La Brossa and IF Barcelona's Festival IF, devoted to visual, object and puppet theatre. It runs from 5 to 29 November, this time built around words losing their meaning.

🏛️ La Brossa, Centre de les Arts Lliures

The Fundació Joan Brossa is housed in La Seca, Barcelona's old royal mint in El Born, and is Barcelona's home for the 'free arts': visual theatre, object poetry, magic, performance and live arts, in the spirit of the poet it is named after. It runs exhibitions, shows and activities all season long.

ℹ️ Good to know: In Spanish, 60 minutes, ages 14+.

✨ A literary find turned into theatre.
