Let’s get to work! invites you for a lively reflection on the place of work.
After all, why do we work? What is work for? Why do most adults organise their life around work? These are questions everyone asks, but they are more perplexing at certain stages of life.
This show is dedicated to everyone going through one of these stages. As the builder of subjectivity and organiser of society, work plays a central role in the human world.
Our labour of love comprises ideas, dances, music, words, songs, bodies, machines and so many other things. Shall we get to work?

Teatro de Ferro was established in 1999. The company’s work focuses on the field of theatre of and with puppets and objects.
Its activities are rooted in research, where the puppet is a core element, in its various hybrid forms.
The relationship of the body-performer with the manipulated object and the involvement of each audience member in the construction of this relationship are points of reflection that cut across the artistic practice of Teatro de Ferro.
