Synopsis

On the stage, a mirror. Alice and her cat cross the threshold and find themselves in a world that operates under a different logic, that of dreams. Incredible things will happen to Alice; the world will become a giant chessboard. The red queen and the blue queen, the knights, Humpty Dumpty, the giant egg, the loving fawn, talking flowers, and even a unicorn traveling on a train will move across it. The pieces will guide her to the end of the game, where Alice will participate in a hilarious banquet.

Enchanted Words is a retelling of Lewis Carroll’s Alice Through the Looking-Glass. In it, Alice, the protagonist, finds herself immersed in an imaginary journey across a large chessboard. It is a mad, predominantly visual piece with performers, puppets, songs, and projections.

The performances of the artists, the brilliant music created by David Larrinaga, and the mastery of author Juan Kruz Igerabide in adapting poems and songs stand out..
