International Puppet Festival Ireland 2008

In Poemes Visuals, a poet (Bertran) introduces a series of letters to the audience. With the help of his guitar the letters come alive and between them tell the visual story of each letter’s personality. The ‘I’ becomes a boy who plays with ‘E’, the dog. ‘Y’ and ‘U’ join together to form a graceful dancer and in the finale the letter ‘T’ becomes a hilarious and bossy high diving act.

Poemes Visuals is one of the best examples of how the simplest shapes together with the most highly skilled pupeteers, can create a truly magical performance. The production is both funny, sad and touching and the addition of live music creates a truly memorable show for all ages.
