Home Alone by the Rubafons Company
Excerpt from the show (10 min.)
Inspired by the cult film Home Alone, this show, revisited in puppet and object theater, humorously and tenderly brings to life the adventures of a child left home alone. The Rubafons transform legendary scenes into poetic and mischievous tableaux, where everyday objects come to life and become accomplices of the imagination. As in the film, there is plenty of laughter, but above all we learn that love and solidarity are more powerful than any trickery. A visual, funny, and heartwarming show to share with the whole family!
