Through this Cantastoria, Papel Machete denounces the imposition of the Fiscal Control Board and calls for resistance and action against the Board and against payment of the debt. The booklet includes the script from the Cantastoria and the illustrations used during the performance.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="center" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][button target="_blank" hover_type="default" text="BUY ZINE" link="https://agitarte.bigcartel.com/product/promesa-booklet"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Our collective is composedof a core of puppeteers that come from all walks of life. Teachers, waiters, social workers, students, artists and community organizers all come together to generate cultural work that expresses our concerns about society and our need to to explore creatively by generating and manipulating objects, the subjects in our interventions and performances. All of our work is generated collectively by our active members through facilitated creative processes and construction workshops using papier mâché as our medium and exploring a wide range of forms and styles that include toy theater, cantastoria, shadow theater, table-top puppetry , humanettes, cut-outs, masks, and giants. We have created a repertoire of characters, plays and performances that personify different aspects of economic injustice and struggles of the working class and the oppressed in our struggles for survival and liberation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_video link="https://vimeo.com/290723251" align="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
