“Troiando” it’s a performance inspired on the real Trojan Horse, recovered in archaeological excavations on the territory of the modern Turkey.During two thousand years it was thought that was just a myth and that, to have existed, it would be of wooden. Pure mistake, today we can say that it still exists and is made of bronze!Dazzle with its graceful poise walking in the cloister of the Museu da Marioneta and be stunned with the Greek stories that the horse carries on its belly … a kind of book in three dimensions, in comics … a story about women and sexual abstinence for the husbands until they finish the civil war in Greece … curious? Come and meet this special horse…José Carlos Barros is the artistic director and founder of the Criadores de Imagens, an experimental troupe of performers that crosses animated objects with the human figure. It is a touring and repertoire company, based on a balance of representation between the traditional and popular party and the dramatic texts, giving priority to the Iberian spirit and Lusophone. Its principal purpose is to interfere with animated images in urban or rural architecture and, finally, to organize thematic parades in partnership with other institutions.
