Festival performers part 2 (Toledo)

One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking shows I have ever seen is the silent "La Fabula De La Raposa" (The Fable of the Fox) performed by Los Titiriteros de Binefar from Spain. The stage and sets are simple and lovely. There was no dialogue in this performance, only animals sounds and the grunts from a tired old man. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when they finished.

I saw them again at the Henson International Festival of Puppetry in 1998.

Their website is in Spanish but, you can click in the upper left corner for English.
