The protagonist of Variations is Proto, a puppet with wonderful possibilities. Proto knows he is attached to threads and is perfectly aware of having two “figures” that help him to be alive. In this show Proto lives a very personal journey that starts from his birth and goes through various fundamental stages of his existence. Thanks to his vitality we experience with irony and poetry very topical themes such as technology, fragility and the awareness of who we really are.
