El Hombre Ciguena - "The Stork Man"

Presented by: Los Titiriteros de Binefar

Country of Origin: Spain

Description:

A hobo helped by rudimentary objects relates the story of the fish-pond where a stork fishes. He believes himself to be a stork. Is he mad? He sings: I'm a robber, a bird on the wing, while I still have a single feather I'll keep flying. Animal rod puppets interact with live actors in this charming paean to the environment that stretches the boundaries of theatrical invention.
