Voa Vladimir, Voa

The show "Voa Vladimir, Voa" is an homage to the memory of puppeteer Vladimir Zakharov as a good man he was and as a remebering of him as a creator and builder of the wrist puppet.

The show consists of three moments of manipulation of different puppets in the wrist puppet technique all pre-navigational by a text in which are remembered the encounters and learnings of Manuel Costa Dias with Vladimir Zakharov.

In this show, as in life, we go through moments of great empathy, moments of tenderness and moments of confrontation.

The tradition of Portuguese Puppets is present with the vane of the Robertos and with the Girl Virgininha of the Puppets of Santo Aleixo.

Manuel Costa Dias as the puppeteer and Nuno Cabrita plays the viola and sings.
