Pedro and the Odyssey of the Parana Puppet Show

October 11, 2025, 10:30am – Pedro and the Odyssey of the Parana at The Cherry

All the way from ARGENTINA – Leonor brings the story of Pedro, a character that comes to life out of her giant book. Pedro delights us in playful moments in his garden with a lama and a bunny, then takes on the tale of Ulysses on the Parana River. In the midst of a terrible storm, Ulysses falls under the enchantment of three singing frogs, is attacked by a monstrous one-eyed fish and is rescued by an unlikely hero.

Leonor is a professional Argentinian puppeteer, dancer and actress. She has been an artist for over 40 years. Her most recent project is the theater company “Los Salvatierras” (The Earth-savers). Her show “Pedro and the Odyssey of the Parana” has won many awards and nominations from Argentinian entities and now Leonor is adventuring into international spaces to keep sharing her art with a wider audience.
