Synopsis
What is life?… Life is walking around the Sun over and over, like a merry-go-round around the Sun.
COMO UM CARROSSEL tells the story of a little girl growing up in a sort of journey during which many questions arise stimulating the little girl’s bond with the world. The audience travels through the eyes of this girl and
her spontaneous relationship with life.
Written and staged by João Paulo Seara Cardoso (1956-2010) in 2006 for Teatro de Marionetas do Porto, Like a Merry-Go-Round is a new creation based on the story Como um Carrossel à Volta do Sol (Like a Merry-Go-Round
Around the Sun). This new version was rewritten and Portuguese Sign Language was included, in an attempt to come closer to a new audience.
This play represents the journey through life, between joy and sadness, fear and hope, and it encourages children to travel through imagination.
