El Patio Teatro: Entrañas (Insides)

MimeLondon

A person stands at a wooden work bench and moulds a small human body out of clay. A large red rope hangs from the ceiling like intestines.

Unravel the mysteries of the human body in this imaginative and poetic journey to our very essence from this renowned Spanish puppet company.

Join us for an anatomy class like no other, where questions about what makes us human come to life. What are we made of? What is a body? Where does it go when we die?

Entrañas (roughly translated to Insides) is a beautiful piece of visual theatre that explores different aspects of the body in a profoundly personal way using handmade objects, images and a moving original soundtrack. 

Founded in Logroño in 2010 by the visionary duo of Izaskun Fernandez and Julian Sáenz-Lopez, El Patio are passionate about sharing stories of everyday life. This UK premiere transcends language and reminds you what it means to be human.
