Marottxs - Rod Puppet
Puppets are glove puppets that have existed in Portugal for hundreds of years, coming from Italian theaters. For many years, many puppeteers, who were the manipulators of these street puppets, went from land to land presenting stories. We've taken this idea as a starting point for a family activity or for school groups, which consists of creating a puppet with the characteristics of a puppet, but to which we've added the technique of manipulating with sticks.
The basic principles of manipulation are present in this little figure, its gait, its look and the construction of a personality that allows its manipulator the expressiveness that will lead to theatrical play.
what Ei! has to say
Twelve days of puppet workshops for groups, children, young people and families. You won't create a puppet unless you want to. We love showing national and international shows, but we love getting our hands dirty, getting everyone building and seeing the stages, the garden populated by puppets built by our spectators and visitors. Nothing fills us with more pride than that question: “Can I do it too?”, so spontaneous, natural and delightful that it fills us with pride, awakening consciences and sensitivities, but above all making puppetry an integral part of everyday life, of artistic experience and of our reality. Come, come, we have some incredible proposals.
Teatro e Marionetas de Mandrágora
Teatro e Marionetas de Mandrágora is a professional puppet theater company with artistic direction by Clara Ribeiro and Filipa Mesquita and art direction by enVide neFelibata. The company was founded on April 2, 2002. In the symbiosis of a symbolic language that combines heritage and traditional legacy with contemporary society's thought and dynamics, often in a not-so-peaceful dialogue, a fundamental element emerges: the puppet. This element supports us in the search for our own cultural identity.
Our goal is to discover the aesthetic, visual, scenic, and dramatic potential of the puppet itself, as well as in its relationship with the actor, and in this discovery, explore the dramaturgy that characterizes us: to explore culture, belief, and legend allied with the city, technological exploration, and the speed of the global village. Throughout our artistic journey, we have presented various proposals to different audiences, including adults, youth, school, and family groups, as well as in basic and specialized training. One of our major commitments is the national and international tour of our projects. Decentralization, community work, partnership creation, and social and inclusive value are predominant concerns in our daily activities.
Over these 22 years, we have established the company as a contemporary artistic creation structure through dozens of show proposals presented nationally and internationally, whether they are our own creations or collaborations with other national and international cultural structures and entities. Our premise is to provide space for the creative freedom of our artistic team, ensuring the existence within the structure of various languages and diverse visions that unite in the common goal of developing the art of puppet theater. Reflection on social fragility issues and a keen eye on traditions and heritage form the basis of the Company's dramaturgy, consolidated in distinct yet simultaneously convergent perspectives.
Dialogue with diverse audiences and the involvement of creation in different contexts and spaces, as well as the intersection between entities and structures, is fundamental, creating multidisciplinary proposals aimed mainly at artistic communication with audiences. Noteworthy is our collaboration with numerous educational services in the implementation of activities in institutions such as monuments, museums, and heritage buildings.
