Miniature Short Dramas

Miniature Short Dramas (Dramas Curtos em Miniatura) sets off from a set of short comic plays written for puppets, Drama for Fools, by one of the greatest theatre reformers of the 20th century, Edward Gordon Craig, known for his theory of the Über-Marionette" or the Super-Puppet.

Miniature Short Dramas is constructed on the basis of some of these micro-plays, in a tropical and surrealist environment in  which other authors will intervene in a narrative made up of meaningless stories, in an effort to try and discover the meaningless stories, in an effort to try and discover the meaning of the world, like an cadavre exquis, a common feature in Tarumba's work.

"There are only three ways to live in this world: either drunk, or in love, or as a poet."

- Mário Cesariny
