Agua, Sol y Sereno

by Trabajo Colectivo

directed by Pedro Adorno

About the Play: “Una de Cal y Una de Arena”, is an experimental theater piece about the changes brought about development in Puerto Rico during the last forty years. The story is told by construction workers and their bosses, who with apparently unconnected objects – a block, a zinc sheet, a hammer and enormous tractor wheels – rhythmically denounce the manner in which nature is being destroyed in favor of an oppressive police of development. Through dialogue, movement and music performed with industrial debris, the stage is transformed into a passionate construction company.

About the play: This theatrical experience is a voyage through one of the most recognized stories of fantastical literature, PINOCCHIO, by the Italian storyteller, Carlos Collodi, in a staging designed for young actors who bring to life several characters, dances and songs, putting into practice their skills and their playful and creative impulses. Four actors introduce to the audience the tender story of Papa Gepetto and his wooden doll, who one day comes to life to learn about lying and human ambition, as well as respect and love, in a game of good and evil which allows the children in the audience to draw their own conclusions and express them along with the actors.
