During the quarantine period, we had to rethink our artistic formats, so we changed the theater stage for the stage of our house, our objects and our environment that surrounds us, as the principal material to continue creating and discovering new ways of communicating our visions.
Here we share our work, fruit of the quarantine, imagination, play and collaboration with various institutions such as the Cultural Center of Spain in Chile, FAMFEST, Unicef Chile, Editorial Amanuta, Santiago Off Festival, Santiago a Mil International Festival and Casa de the Culture of Algarrobo.
Enjoy!
