A Bit Invisible

A Bit Invisible is the adaptation of the play of the same name written by Andrés Kalawski and directed by Muriel Miranda and Hugo Covarrubias (Estudio Maleza Company), which premiered to great acclaim in 2013. The play returns in a new format, an album book that forms part of the collection ‘Terror, Misterio y Fantasía’ (Terror, Mystery and Fantasy) from Pozo de Arena, the children’s and young adult literature imprint of the Plazadeletras publishing house.
It is a book that introduces the reader to the subject of family relationships, their conflicts and secrets. A look at the adult world from the perspective of two children, Max and Felipe. The two brothers will look for a way to recover the visibility of one of them, while restoring a lost family balance through the connection with their grandfather, who wants to talk about the terrible things that afflict the little ones.
The illustrations in the book are stills from the original stop motion animation created for the play.
