The Witnesses

On stage is a radio studio from the 1950s where the actors of an extravagant radio-novel record a mysterious, dusty and sometimes comedic police procedural drama. Carried away by this melodrama, the actors reconstruct the facts presented in the murder trial of a man fighting for his innocence. The props of the radio studio (objects for sound effects, microphones, lecterns, technical control room, etc.) are suddenly brought to life as they portray the different characters of this story worthy of the great trials of the past century where mysteries remain unsolved and where any given citizen could potentially become a key witness.

It is a show that combines hand puppets, miniature puppets, acting and precise manipulation of objects whilst allowing the performers to work with a sense of freedom and in a playful manner.
