Masks and Puppets in a street theater show
Two clowns, now unemployed, decide to reinvent their job to earn money. Instead of representing their usual circus routines, they decide to stage a tragedy ... or rather ... the most famous of the tragedies: Romeo and Juliet.
The show, characterized by a strong meta-theatricality, is set in the desert Brazilian "Sertao" and establishes a link between the brazilian typical form of storytelling (the Cordel), the clown mask and the puppets world.
One of the oldest theatrical tragedy becomes a way to talk about the current young people social reality.
