About
Periplo Marionetas, a Madrid puppet company, brings a Halloween variety show to the open-air puppet theater in El Retiro park. Short acts mix music, improvisation and comedy: a dancing skeleton, a pianist from beyond the grave, a sneaky spider, a skating witch and a duel of "little" titans. It is spooky in a silly way, a good pick for kids who like Halloween costumes more than real scares.
