What We Keep in a Letter
A photograph. A familiar object. A letter written so something will not be forgotten. Don Miguel holds on to the little things that make his life meaningful: loving his wife, raising a family, and becoming a grandfather.
Holding on as memories fade
As remembering becomes harder, the world around him seems to have less time for him. Writing letters is his way of keeping the people and moments he loves close by.
In this solo performance, Freddy Alfaro Domínguez uses puppets and everyday objects to tell Don Miguel’s story. It is a tender look at growing older, feeling unseen, and the affection that remains in the things we leave behind.
A story you can feel across languages
Much of the performance unfolds without words. Even when Spanish is spoken, the puppets, gestures, and action help you understand what Don Miguel is sharing. You do not need to follow every word to feel the tenderness of his story. That connection, which overcomes language barriers, is one of the most moving parts of this experience.

Lo que cabe en una carta
Una fotografía. Un objeto familiar. Una carta escrita para no olvidar. Don Miguel se rodea de pequeñas cosas que guardan una vida entera: el amor por su esposa, sus años como padre y la alegría de ser abuelo.
Recordar, incluso cuando cuesta
Sus recuerdos empiezan a desvanecerse y el mundo parece tener cada vez menos tiempo para él. Escribir es su manera de mantener cerca a las personas y los momentos que no quiere perder.
Freddy Alfaro Domínguez cuenta su historia mediante títeres, objetos cotidianos y una narración íntima. Es una obra sobre la memoria y la soledad, pero también sobre el cariño que dejamos en la vida de los demás.
Una historia que se siente más allá del idioma
Gran parte del espectáculo transcurre sin palabras. Incluso cuando se habla en español, los títeres, los gestos y la acción ayudan a comprender lo que Don Miguel quiere compartir. No hace falta entender cada palabra para sentir la ternura de su historia. Esa conexión, más allá del idioma, es una de las experiencias más conmovedoras de la obra.
