This Friday, June 10, at 10:00 p.m., we will be able to see the show ‘Lumen, a love story’ through the streets of Tolosa, a story by the Portuguese company S.A.Marionetas, acclaimed by critics and owner of several international awards. The story revolves around a being who wanders in search of light, which he finds thanks to carriers of this energy who come from remote lands.

The show, lasting an hour between the procession and the staging of the story, is told at a height of five meters. Two huge figures will be erected around the town, in addition to some smaller ones, close to three meters. Some special, light puppets that will be carried by the volunteers who during these days have been rehearsing with the company at the Tolosa Fair under the baton of TOPIC, the event’s organizer.

The ten puppets that will walk around Tolosa are the work of the Portuguese designer Natacha Costa, with the invaluable help of a hundred workers for their construction. They are illuminated in different parts of the body, giving an automaton appearance, mechanical as well as elegant. Visible frame, it resembles the humanoid robot developed by Leonardo da Vinci, a mechanical knight equipped with pulleys and ropes.
