Synopsis
Uma is a little paper girl who has emotions of different shades and sizes. With the help of her dog, Yuyu, she discovers how to recognize and name what she feels, in order to manage her emotions. Her paper world will change colors, consistence, dimension and texture, depending on the emotion in her heart.
Descripción
Paper Uma addresses the issue of emotions, their recognition and the difficult task of self-regulation.
The aesthetic universe of the play is constructed through paper; the puppets, the scenery and Uma’s emotions are all expressed using this delicate material. The story is told through images and actions, not words. The music, specifically composed for the play, is an essential part of the dramatic action.
