Puppeteers from Binéfar (Aragón) presents the puppet theater ANTÓN RETACO, directed by Paco Paricio, and performed by him and Quiri Aquilué, on Saturday, November 4, at 7:00 pm, at the Villa de Molina Theater (on Avenida del Chorrico, n ° 10).
The price of admission is 6 euros.
María Luisa Gefaell (National Prize for Literature 1952) published in 1955 a beautiful book for children: Antón Retaco.
The life of a small company of traveling artists portrayed with the tender and kind look of Anton, a dwarf child.
The troupe that travels the roads of Castilla is formed by the also dwarf Doña Martita Gorgojo, mother of Antón, his father, the weightlifter Don Plácido Recio, the horse Cascabillo, the monkey Carantoñas and the wise dogs Can-Can and Tuso.
To them is added a sacristan with the soul of an artist, Uncle Badajo.
The story constitutes a song to free life, to popular theater, to the value of simple things and to a clean, poetic and friendly look about things.
