Anthology JORDI BERTRAN
Jordi Bertran, known internationally as one of the master marionette puppeteers, presents a show in seven musical and theatre scenes where movement, suggestive details and natural gestures produce a hypnotic magnetism that will captivate the viewer.
Anthology, Jordi Bertran’s debut work, was released in 1987 and continues to form part of his repertoire to the present, visiting stages across the five continents for over twenty years.
Structured along the lines of a cabaret, Anthology’s scenes unfold in an elaborate sequence, combining the rhythm of the show with the emotional development of each one of the characters recreated by the puppeteer, who –through the puppet strings- brings to life well-known and imaginary characters, anonymous characters inspired by the circus, theatre or cultural world.
In Anthology, the scene is played out directly before the audience, bathed with bdelicate lighting.
Operated Jordi Bertran himself, in full view of the spectators, the relationship between the creator and object is transformed into a studied, precise and technically perfect choreography. This virtuoso performance is the result of many years of work, with every articulation, gesture or counterweight studied to perfection to ensure that the characters who parade in front of the viewer – seven marionettes make up the seven scenes that recreate the unique universe.
