OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

The manipulation game is also often a technical challenge, and traditional Portuguese stories, such as the one presented here, have a repetition that is the result of the heritage of oral tradition, creating characters that work collectively.

The three brothers have created a challenge for the show, in the sense that three table-top puppets have been made, with almost imperceptible differentiation suggested only by the paint, but with identical costumes. The interpretation of these puppets works in collective mode.

In this way, manipulation was explored, sometimes a little chaotically, in the sense that there is no total and direct control over all the figures, accentuating the jocular character that these characters have on stage.

The puppets have a rod on their heads and by joining the three rods of the three characters and directly manipulating the hands or feet of the puppets, depending on the movement characteristics required, the basis for the interpretation of these characters is given. A game of human impossibilities is created here, where the figures function above all as a metaphor for the game of chaos and the fact that these three characters are in constant conflict with each other.
