Fofi el Cachorro (Fofi the Puppy)
Fofi is a little dog who enjoys life and the people who love him, until one day he is left alone waiting for death… or a new opportunity to be happy.
Fofi the Puppy is a theatre show for the whole family that uses string puppets and table puppets, joined by the work of an actor who, through gestures and onomatopoeias, tells us a touching story about Fofi, an adorable puppy, and his difficult relationship with his human father; a selfish and vain person who only thinks about enjoying himself without caring about the consequences. With this show, the La Bayka company intends, using large doses of irony and humor, to raise awareness about the problem of mistreatment and abandonment of domestic animals.
