Barrio Caleidoscopio / Borough Kaleidoscope

Alfonsito wakes up with an urge to get some bread from the shop. But he’s scared. He’s scared of lots of things. Of going outside. Of the city. Of leaving his home. But the longer he waits, the hungrier he gets and before long, he’s edging towards the door.

In a virtuoso display of physical storytelling, all the more impressive because he never leaves his chair, Cacho Gallegos brings to life a strange, darkly funny urban world where nothing is as it first seems, including Alfonsito himself.
