The sprig of mint The Sprig of Mint tells us the extraordinary adventures of Asterio, or whatever his name is. Physical adventures, mental adventures that merge into the unique adventure of life. Beyond the fact that the characters seem intent on reminding us of some distant kinship with famous ancestors of mythological lineage, humor is a substantial part of each of the facets that make up this multifaceted adventure: it's in the dialogue, in the posing of the enigmas, in the (solutions?); it's even in the treatment of love and death, without losing their status as serious subjects. The Sprig of Mint won the FETEN Award in 2000. Eduardo Zamanillo, associated with the PTV Clowns Company, believes that the best biography of an author is the collection of his works. He has written more than twenty of them, premiered by various theater companies and groups. He has received several awards, from which he says he has quite recovered.
