The girl with clay feet

cultural mediation project

M.3 . 00h30
One day I was walking and came across a little figurine, broken and dusty, bearing the marks of time. Where did it come from? How did it get there? If it could speak, what would it tell me? I stood there staring at it; from the very first moment, I wanted to get to know this little figurine—its story, who had brought it to life, where it had traveled. I blew on it as if breathing life into it, and I was enchanted by the world it revealed to me—the most beautiful journey through a time, through a place. This little figurine was made of earth and water; once, someone had held it gently in their hands, breathing life into it. Just as I had breathed on it, it had lived beyond time.

theater in institutions

Since 2003, Teatro e Marionetas de Mandrágora has acted as a strategic partner in cultural mediation, implementing educational services that utilize puppetry as a vital tool for dialogue.
Our institutional programs are widely disseminated across the country, providing venues with pedagogical tools designed to bridge the gap between institutions and their visitors. These are sensory-driven performances that invite the audience to engage through participatory contemplation.
By promoting Educational Service programs through the art of puppetry, we establish a unique rapport with the public. We aim to foster a global mindset—encouraging audiences to reflect, ponder, and, above all, cultivate new cultural habits. Integrated into heritage promotion and the decoding of artistic languages for young audiences, this project champions the puppet as a powerful vehicle for communication and learning within educational settings.
