LA
FONTAINE'S FABLES
(FAULES
DE LA FONTAINE)
Funny
adaptation in verse of seven fables, with actors,
puppets of inner manipulation
with mobile mouth
as well as rod and string-puppets.
-available
only in Catalan or Spanish language-
For
all audiences.
For theaters.
DESCRIPTION
Medium-format show for two actors and
ten puppets
Adaptation for puppet theatre
of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine:
THE CROW AND THE FOX Book 1 Fable 2 (LE
CORBEAU ET LE RENARD)
THE WOLF AND THE DOG Book 1 Fable 5 (LE LOUP ET LE CHIEN)
THE FOX AND THE BILLY GOAT Book 3 Fable 5 (LE RENARD ET
LE BOUC)
THE COCK AND THE FOX Book 2 Fable 15 (LE COQ ET LE RENARD)
THE FOX AND THE STORK Book 1 Fable 13 (LE RENARD ET LA CIGOGNE)
THE FOX AND THE GRAPES Book 3 Fable 11 (LE RENARD ET LES
RAISINS)
THE CICADA AND THE ANT Book 1 Fable 1 (LA CIGALE ET LA FOURMI)
With the help of two
sceneshifters, La Fontaine sets out to present and narrate
the fables. The sceneshifters thus perform it with puppets,
according to what La Fontaine has previously instructed
them to do. But on some occasions, either to help a
character, or on others because they are not happy with
an ending, they get involved of their own accord. In
this way the message of each fable is show up and worked
more extensively.
