“Seahorses, Pirates, Boatings, Moonlit, Sunlit Serenades” by Puppet – Theatre XARXOUT
You have been hidden away for years, pirate boat.
They beautifully wrapped your wooden body around
Flags, ropes, seaweed, flowers.
Like a painting, which the wave drains away bit-by-bit.
Little kids of the woods will meet you, a toy of them you will end up.
And the Seas maid alongside sends a sweet smile.
Afterwards people will come, sloppy as always,
Barrels with bad materials, close to you they will intend to throw.
For you, wooden wreck, toy of the little kids,
Seahorses, little dragons, little squids, sea urchins will become true pirates,
A real fight with unjust people they will have.
Swords will not win, rather the beautiful serenades!
The performance talks about the sea pollution. The boat-wreck, becomes a motivation for game, since the power of our little heroes imagination as well as their lateral thinking create comic scenes, scenes with romance, with love songs (serenades), with self-sacrifice, with devotion to a proper aim: They want to become pirates, to fight injustice in order to make a better world!
16 puppets participating: Dragon, Little Dragon, Seahorse, Little Seahorse, Little Fish, Little Tadpole, Frog, She-horse, She-Elephant, Squid-guitarist, Seahorse, Sea urchin, Anchor, Rope-dancer, Sea maid, Human.
