Experience a deeply moving theatrical experience that lingers long after the final moment.
Don Miguel is an intimate portrait of a man tracing the memories that shaped his life: the deep love he shared with his wife, the tender pride of fatherhood, and the joy of becoming a grandfather. As his memories begin to fade, he safeguards them the only way he knows—through handwritten letters, a fragile archive of a lifetime.
But the world around him has moved on. Once surrounded by family, Don Miguel now faces the painful reality of invisibility, left with only faded photographs and small objects as silent reminders of what once was.
Through delicate puppetry and heartfelt storytelling, Don Miguel invites audiences to reflect on love, loss, and the beauty of memory.
