"Sonia and Alfredo" on tour in Canada

Theatre

Who is that funny, strange bird? Where does he come from? He claims he’s called Alfredo and he owns a little chair which he always carries around with him. That’s all we know about him. As for Sonia, we know that she lives alone in a house at the end of the woods and is reluctant to leave her little kingdom. Until, one day...
Sonia and Alfredo is a simple story about friendship and solidarity. It’s about what happens when we experience exclusion and solitude; about that comforting feeling when finding a home and a friend; about how we feel when we find the courage to face unknown situations for someone else’s sake.
Sonia and Alfredo is told through few, essential words and puppets drawn simply but to great effect. Figures that on the white shadow theatre screen come to life thanks to the presence of two actors/animators and become characters that are able to represent, through clean gestures and touching simplicity, the great themes of life.
