This nomadic street performance features a giant puppet with three heads, inspired by the mythological Fates—Nona, Decima, and Morta. Accompanied by puppeteers, musicians, and actors, the procession roams the city, breaking the boundary between stage and audience. Each performance transforms with the setting, blending music, movement, special effects, and wordless interaction to reflect on humanity and life.

[Spain] Cacos
CQP Production
Cacos is a physical comedy street show where a gang of cartoon-style thieves invades public space. Though they try to steal everything in sight, all they end up stealing is laughter. Full of slapstick humor and audience interaction, this show reawakens the spirit of 1980s Spanish street theater through movement, rhythm, and play.

[Canada] LUCIEN
ALUMA
Lucien tells the story of a man who brings forgotten letters back to life as paper airplanes. In the "Shop of Lost Letters," Lucien carefully unfolds and folds crumpled paper, sending it off into the air. One day, a lost aviator wanders in, and the two begin to communicate through silent gestures and glances, gently reviving forgotten stories. This is a tender and poetic puppet show where paper, music, and movement come together in harmony.

[Spain] Ma Solitud
Guillem Albà
A twenty-five minutes journey from comedy to poetry, with the hands as a starting point. This part of the body that returns us to the tangible, everyday and artisanal, and reconnects us with the community. Hands that have created most of the things we use. Hands that have unleashed the most sublime beauty and the most terrible atrocities. Hands that tell the stories that have united us for so long. To claim them so that they are not left alone and forgotten between keyboards, screens and over-information. An experience to remember the importance of what is human, simple and shared.
