Poemes Visuals

Company Jordi Bertran (Spain)

Duration: 50 mins

Suitable for: adults & children 6+

Company Jordi Bertran is one of the most successful and most highly regarded Spanish puppet companies. It’s founder, Jordi Bertran, is considered a master puppeteer of several forms of puppetry.

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.

Director’s Note: This production has won numerous awards at festivals around the globe and is one of those rare productions which plays equally well to both exclusively adult and family audiences. This is the first opportunity to see Poemes Visuals in Ireland.
