Dramas Curtos em Miniatura

Miniature Short Dramas (Dramas Curtos em Miniatura) sets off from a set of short comic plays written for puppets, Drama for Fools, by one of the greatest theatre reformers of the 20th century, Edward Gordon Craig, known for his theory of the Über-Marionette or the Super-Puppet. These texts, written during the First World War, reveal a lesser-known Craig, who imagined a cycle of 365 plays for puppets. Although he never finished this immense project, only around fifty texts were finalised or drafted, he never stopped correcting or completing them for almost forty years. The tiny size of each piece is often combined with various levels of narrative, nonsense and absurd humour.
