Paper Theater: Stories that Heal Agus Nur Amal is an artist and storyteller from Indonesia. His art was born from the local oral tradition and uses simple everyday objects to create scenes and characters. With the project TV Eng Ong, an improvised "TV show" using a cardboard frame, Agus brought comfort and moments of listening to children and families in temporary shelters after the 2004 tsunami. His work shows how telling stories, including difficult ones, can be a way of processing experiences and caring for those who listen and those who tell. This workshop starts from this simple and powerful gesture: turning a box into a theater, and one's own life story into narrative and image. Over four sessions, participants will visit the exhibition, choose and develop a life story (their own, from a family member or the community), and build a paper theater box to tell it. Prior registration is required. Registrations via the link from 08/19 at 10am to 08/28 at 6pm, or until the 20 available spots are filled. Recommended for audiences aged 16 and up. Free activity. The workshop proposal from Pina Contemporânea is another educational action aimed at providing a space for experimentation for the general public and enabling dialogue, socialization, and sharing of experiences.
