(Based on Felipe's Death by Olga Traba)*
*This performance based on research to examine "puppet" as a metaphorical tool for visualizing a dramatic event in documentary theatre. The unreliable narrator whose character alternates between police, clown, and magician, explains a murder case using pop-up papers, pictures, and different objects. This case is not a real event but the narrator tries to show it as a documentary theatre.
Various objects have been used as different characters of the play due to the function they provide.
There are pockets including glasses and documents about the case in blue and red color and the audience have to choose which color they want to follow the show with. The pop-ups also have been painted red, blue and purple. The audience using red glasses could only see blue paintings and the audience with blue glasses could only see red paintings, but they both could see purple colors. So in each color, they find a different person as the murderer.
