A vibrant, ironic, visual and lucid reflection on the power of words
In Manual per a éssers vius, the text comes to life: it speaks, plays, provokes, and shows us how words shape the way we think, love, dominate, and exist. With humor and a staging full of inventive plastic creativity, the show invites audiences to explore both the power and fragility of language. La Mula transforms the stage into a space for visual and philosophical play, turning the text into a living device that goes beyond traditional theatre. With a subtly unsettling smile, it reminds us that—as in this synopsis—there is always a text standing between us and reality.
