A Bruxinha

A doll show created in 1991 by Cia. Truks, in which Eva Furnari participated until 94, together with Claudio Saltini, Henrique Sitchin, Verônica Gerchman and Eduardo Amos. The play uses a traditional Japanese doll theater called bunraku. It was on stage until1998 and was awarded the Mambembe Trophy, the Ministry of Culture award. In 2010, it was back on stage with the new artists at Cia. Truks.
In the show, the Bruxinha (Little Witch) has fun inventing magic tricks and meeting new friends, with who she shares adventures: the drama lion, the dragon and, of course, her secret admirer Gregório. Everything is fine until a very clumsy monster comes along trying to get Bruxinha’s magic wand.
Curiously, this story followed an inverse course: the play inspired the book.

Inspired by the book, the show created by Cia. Noz de Teatro has on stage dolls and actors to tell the story of the people who live in a village and meet every day on the square, but have nothing much to talk about.
