Synopsis

​

A detective story based on Cine Noir style, characterized by “B” films of the 40’s and the 50’s which  the lack of character and the crime are the most present marks.

​

Detective Bill Arrow’s office is sought by Miss Velda, a “fatal woman” whose “intimate underwear” was stolen and will pay any amount to get it back. What seemed like a banal crime gives rise to a series of other violent crimes, where everyone is a suspect until proven otherwise, or until their bodies are found in some dark alley.

​

Inspired by the life and works of Dashiell Hammett, considered the father of modern police literature, the show uses a puppet construction technique less-known in Brazil, starting from models developed by Hansjügern Fettig in his book “Rod Puppets & Table Top Puppets (Standing figures)”. The scenography was inspired by the German Expressionism, an artistic movement that contributed to the rise of Cine Noir.
