A stage made of a cane frame and trouser hangers with black fabric panels, 40 heads and many other props leave nothing hidden. The two bare hands of the puppeteer Kristiane Balsevicius form the bodies of the puppets in the piece ‘LOVE and all that theatre’. They appear in various roles on the subject of love: as singles, the abandoned, the old, and the starry-eyed.
