New show 2012

Peruvian Hugo Suarez and Bosnian Ines Pasic founded their puppetry and object theatre company Hugo and Ines in 1986. since 1989 they have been interested in the expressive abilities of each body part: the foot, the knee, the belly, the face, the elbow... giving life to surprising characters.

Hugo & Ines productions have toured around the world, and performed in major international festivals (see list below). They also gave birth to two other groups, Gaia Teatro in 2003 and La Santa Rodilla in 2004. We present respectively one show of these two groups on this website: Los Mundos de Fingerman (The Worlds of Fingerman) and Manologias.

Press review:

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

These  illusionists are sly magicians at a basic, spartan, infinitesimal kind of hand puppetry. With a seemingly simple manipulation of digits,hands, arms, legs and even feet and toes, they bring to life exotic,alienlie creatures and tell gentle, cartoonlike stories graced with miniature poetry and truth. - Sid Smith, Chicago Arts Critic

HONG KONG WEEKLY

“The most impressive show in the Hong Kong Arts Festival…imaginative ideas that cheer all children up, yet intrigue mature audiences…lovely and magical.”

THE PUPPETRY JOURNAL

“Now and then something wonderful comes along just when you think nothing new can happen. Such a new wonder is Hugo & Ines.” Allelu Kurten, National Festival Puppeteers of America, S. Francisco

TORONTO STAR

“Supremely skilled performers…one of the most innovative puppet show you’ll find anywhere. Toronto Star Theater Critic.

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

“Suarez and Pasic are performer-magicians who make the simple sublime. Their art is a blend of puppetry and mime in which the addition of a false no se and shirt transforms an odd body part – a foot, a knee, a hand – into a puppet with a unique personality.” Robert Hurwitt, Examiner Theater Critic
