Roulettes
Ramiro Ramirez, an elderly man of unchanging habits and routines, goes out for a walk as he has done every evening for the last five years. Despite the difficulties in walking, stubbornness pushes him to reach the square in front of the house and take a seat on his favourite bench. Ramiro doesn’t know that on this very day something is going to change. His bench is occupied. Responsible for this change is Enzo Carbonara, a cheerful child of the street who lives without brakes and rules. Enzo will arouse in Ramiro some emotions that will make him come to terms with himself. After this encounter, his life will take a new turn.

Cía. eLe | Spain
The eLe company was created in 2014 in Barcelona after Marta Lorente’s encounter with Raquel Batet in Pepe Otal’s Taller de Marionetas. With the aim to explore new forms of expression with the use of puppets they created their first production Si tecontara... One year later, they premiered Roulettes, the show which consolidates their common language. Since then they have performed it at numerous festivals around the world.
