Augustus and Benjamin
Puppet Theatre
A child, Benjamin, and an old man, Augusto, are companions as time passes, with Augusto taking on the role of storyteller and adventurer. One day, Benjamin, inspired by the story of Peter Pan, decides that this won't be just another day of sharing stories and convinces Augusto to leave home and try their luck in search of Neverland. Benjamin believes they can find it around the corner, but will it be that easy?
Augusto is a puppet and animated forms theatre show for all audiences that aims to explore the encounter between these generations, who are both distant and complementary, in a narrative that mixes everyday experiences in the village with the imagination of the characters.
