SYNOPSIS
Version by Ildeberto Gama, based on Contos para a Infância by Guerra Junqueiro, Typographia Universal edition, Lisbon, 1877.
A Narrator tells two of Guerra Junqueiro’s short stories. He stands in front of the audience and has a screen above his head. He introduces the characters and describes the context of the action narrated in indirect speech. Whenever he switches to direct speech, he manipulates small figures cut out on the glass of an overhead projector in front of him, which are projected onto the aforementioned screen. He has the help of a technician sitting next to him who passes him the shadows and triggers musical separators that emphasize the action and help him switch from narration to direct speech.
The narration/action concludes with the traditional exclamation: “Victory! Victory, the story is over”.
