_{A tiny universe with a small being, in the tallest tree in the forest.
The body is small, the wings are even smaller.
The Utopia is great. Fly.}

Ornithopters are machines that mimic the flight of birds.
Onirotóptero is a micro event of miniature puppets.
For 7 minutes, Oniro struggles to devise the escape from his refuge.

Onirotóptero is a small forms puppet show, presented to only one or two people at a time for approximately 7 minutes. The setting is a traveling box that can be in any space. The public is invited to sit on small benches with headphones, closely linked to the performance and the puppeteer, in this work without words and dedicated to all audiences.

BIO

Directed by Sandra Neves, Trupe Fandanga was founded in Porto in 2014, when the company made its first presentation in a WIP at Festival Internacional de Marionetas do Porto with the show Botequim. The company aims to be a space for research in puppet and object construction and manipulation. Their work focuses on presenting puppets outside conventional settings, with a special interest in intimate, small-scale shows. After Botequim, the Trupe presented the micro-puppet show Onirotóptero in 2019 and in 2021, the show Qubim was presented at FIMFA Lx22 and in Lithuania, at the Contempo Festival, as part of the European Impulse project. At FIMFA Lx23 the company presented Ai de Mim, Ai do Eu!.
