Sandra Neves Puppets

what the festival has to say

A constant search for discovery, the materials of figures, imagination, an engineering of chaos, the transformation of the improbable into artistic matter. The scale and origin of form are merely glimpses of a constant quest to find a universe of her own, consistent with the personality of its creator.

We could say that Sandra Neves is a set designer, visual artist, and puppeteer, but we believe that words would fall short, so Sandra Neves is a creator of images that materialize through her objects.

The Trupe Fandanga project introduces us to the engineering of the small, the illusion that the whole lies in the smallest detail, when in fact the whole is made up of many details, none of which are insignificant. A solitary creation to which other artists are summoned, but which we understand, always converges on the artist's inner universe.

Teatro e Marionetas de Mandrágora has been collaborating with the artist for several years now, and it is always a privilege and a pleasure to be able to engage in dialogue with such sincerity and honesty, which are so characteristic that it seems to us to be of such simplicity that the most unwary will not understand the immense creativity that lies behind such a sensitive being.

Trupe Fandanga / Circolando – Central Elétrica

Trupe Fandanga was born in Porto in 2014, under the direction of Sandra Neves. It aims to be a space for research into the construction and manipulation of puppets and objects. It works with puppets outside the conventional performance space and has a special fondness for intimate, small-scale shows. In addition to Botequim, in 2019 A Trupe will premiere the puppet micro-show Onirotóptero, which follows the line of lickety-split theater. In 2021 it premieres Qubim, which circulates around the main puppet festivals nationally and internationally. In 2023, he premieres Ai de Mim, Ai do Eu!, his fourth creation.
