Richard III

This Shakespearean tale presents the rise and fall of Richard, an actor surrounded by life size puppets animated by three dancers and puppeteers. A master manipulator, he will take control of them all to reach his goal and become a tyrant king of England, until rebellion overthrows him and his madness.
