Complete card
On stage, an actress and a puppet tell the audience the story of Bianca, who got this name because of thesnow that fell on the day she was born. White as snow, the moon, a cloud, a sugared almond, sugar, whipped cream.
It is a simple yet deep story, rich of meanings and metaphors, that revolves around birth and the beginning of existence, the roundness of the universe and of life, where everything flows through a pulsing heart and where light and warmth are set against the whiteness of snow, which is dazzling but cold,inanimate and devoid of life.
The story requires the audience’s involvement and, at the same time, while the theatrical action unfolds, itreveals the emotion of the sweet, intimate bond of the actress and her puppet/child, and she will make it live the story through her imagination.
