On Tour: Mãos Grandes

Very young funny and coloured characters breathe life into a show that is mainly addressed to children.
A funny and accessible show, with a strong pedagogical approach.
More and more our society separates us from traditions and customs that had been strongly present in every village of our country in times past. The mill and the oven of the villages have become places without life, colou r and emotions. TRSM goes back to the origins and makes you try to revive these places, it tries to tell the children that bread doesn´t come from the commercial surfaces, but there´s a whole process that is worth to know. The use of puppets brings the children closer, stimulates their curiosity and attention. The colours and the movements awaken their creativity.
