Parche

In Parche, a puppet play, emigration moves beyond the map and becomes a mirror. Parche and Rangdel are brothers, both of them shoes. One prefers to stay rooted and reflect; the other dreams of somewhere ‘higher’, of new horizons, even at the cost of separation. Their journey brings in figures both symbolic and familiar: Pantanos, Perro, Mariposa and Papalote. Above all, there is Poesía, a presence that offers support, heals, unsettles and urges us to look within.

Luisa Dalia González Suárez writes with sensitivity and a lyrical touch, shaping a contemporary fable about goodbyes, uprooted lives and the search for a place of one's own. She invites us to read migration as a metaphor for existence, and to stage it that way too. To change countries, shed a skin, change your mind, change your life. To lose yourself and find yourself.

For readers drawn to Cuban drama, short plays and emotionally rich puppet theatre, Parche offers an intimate journey, leaving questions unanswered and one bright certainty. Are brave decisions always rewarded?
