Angel Duda Paiva (Netherlands)

Saturday 26 January 8.00pm

In the beginning was the word

A cry out of the darkness...

Angel depicts the classic fall from grace of a tramp who meets an angel in a graveyard and sets up home with him. Through the angel we enter an ambivalent world of dreams, curses and revelation. Is the angel a companion, a messenger, a judge or is this all just the hallucinations of a tramp who has had one too many...

Angel blends dance, puppet theatre of great quality and skill in a story of unholy love that has been rapturously received by audiences all over the world since its premiere two years ago.

"Together they weave a spell on the audience - we can't be sure whether the angel is benign or malign. Beautiful scenography, dance, physical theatre and puppet theatre combine to make this a compelling show - not to be missed" D Wilson, Director of Mac, (England)

"The manner, in which the actor persuades the audience that the puppet is alive, is unbelievable. With this production Paiva has already gone round the world collecting so many awards it takes three pages in his biography to list them. A truly great show" La Casa (Spain)
