MR&MRS KRAFT – A STORY OF PAPER MASKS

What is hidden behind the paper? How many shapes can it have? Is it silent or can it produce a special sound?

Mr&Mrs KRAFT invite to enter their laboratory where they experiment with this material: paper. Cutting, manipulating, gluing, colouring, crumpling they will give life to double-sided masks that will reveal surprising, fun and original characters.

The masks, the articulation of the gesture and the movement will be the ingredients of this story: a poetic and sensorial journey where the magic of the paper and its creatures will trap us in the continuous play of masking and unmasking.

THEATRICALITY of KRAFT PAPER

The abstract and evocative FORM of the paper has allowed for the creation of reversible (double-sided) masks, where the viewer is free to construct the face in their own imagination.

The PLASTICITY of the paper, due to its minimalism and textural qualities, enhances the sensation of travelling through the surprising appearance that the characters give us at all times.

The SOUND of the paper is produced by the actors’ gestures, whose movements are the main essence that brings the different masks to life.
