Not everything that comes to the net...

creation of animated shapes that remind us of fish swimming freely

M.4 . 02h30
Not everything that comes to the net...Not everything that comes to the net...Not everything that comes to the net...Not everything that comes to the net...
We bring together different materials and create a sculpture in motion. Mixing them together gives birth to a new creature, the fruit of imagination, going beyond what the materials actually are.
Where some see windmills, others see giants; where some see fish, others imagine sea monsters, because the depths of the waters have always been the source of imagination and the unknown, because creative beings have the gift of impossible invention.

Through the assembly process, any and all materials can be incorporated and blended, creating a whole without losing their original meaning. A combination of three-dimensional elements, objects, and materials in a larger whole, where it is always possible to identify each piece that has been brought together and finished in its final form.

Puppets, while often associated with childhood, are deeply woven into our collective imagination, history, and tradition. This art form offers an inexhaustible wealth of theatrical experiences, constantly renewing itself through innovative creation and manipulation on the modern stage.
It is essential for educators to equip themselves with the specialized knowledge needed to facilitate these experiences. By exploring diverse materials and construction techniques, teachers can provide students with the tools to develop original creative work, transforming the classroom into a laboratory for theatrical discovery and artistic expression.
