The Stories of the Little Lupitina González

Direction, music: Dora Bouzková
Stage design: Magdalena Prousková-Koděrová
Translation: Michał Sieczkowski
Cast: Dora Bouzková

The family of Lupitina, a little Mexican girl, is getting ready to celebrate All Soul's Day, which in local culture is a colourful and joyful holiday, a meeting of death and life. The living make merry together with the departed, with whom they converse and sing their favourite songs, and for whom they prepare their beloved meals.

The magical, extremely sincere, and lively spectacle by Dora Bouzková is addressed to the youngest audience and told in the language of the child. The by no means easy topic of departure is treated with a certain distance and humour, while retaining an awareness of the complex emotions accompanying it and bringing us closer to the very essence of the problem. By taming the theme of death it reminds us that the latter remains a natural part of every life.
