Play

La noche (The Night) is a poetic tale by Montserrat del Amo, created especially for Francisco Peralta's puppets. With this play, the author seeks to create a new plot embodied in the archetypal characters of Italian comedy. The mischievous Harlequin, the lovesick Pierrot, the beautiful Columbine...

Written in 1955, La noche is a highly original play with a complex dramaturgy, which Paco worked on from that moment onwards but never finished.

Plot

Pierrot, in love with Columbina, longs for a love that seems unattainable. For the mischievous Harlequin, nothing is impossible, and to help his friend, he brings Columbina down from the star where she lives with a well-aimed stone!
