A workshop for students and professionals with the excellent artists Rute Ribeiro and Luis Vieira, Artistic directors of A Tarùmba company and Fimfa festival in Lisboa.

The workshop is intended to be a laboratory of research and experimentation under The Shadow Theatre, with the main objective of demonstrating the specificity of this millennial form of theatre, its deep particularities, its own register of sensitivities and emotions.

The participants are invited to experiment and enter in the world of light and shadows. The shadows produced with the body, the hands, the puppets, and also with objects, mirrors and even the use of paintings. The Shadow Theatre allows to address an infinity of themes, from the most serious and pedagogical ones to the most poetical or funny ones.

Workshop fee includes lunch and Festival pass.

Tarumba means to be confused or perplexed, astounded, fascinated, stunned, astonished… words that express the company’s general feeling towards the puppetry arts.

A Tarumba – Teatro de Marionetas is a Portuguese professional theatre company, based in Lisbon, established in 1993, with artistic direction of Luís Vieira and Rute Ribeiro. Its purpose is to spread and promote puppetry and visual theatre. It was founded by a group of people, from several different artistic backgrounds, Theatre, Cinema, Sculpture and History of Art. They all shared a common passion for puppetry and a profound awareness of the need of its revitalisation in Portugal.

The development of a work of great artistic and technical standard, as well as the constant innovation within the field of puppetry in Portugal, are the key aspects which have been characterizing the company’s activity.

FIMFA Lx – Festival Internacional de Marionetas e Formas Animadas was distinguished with the Critics Award 2010, by the Portuguese Association of Theatre Critics, “for its 10 years of perseverant and continuous work in presenting, in Portugal, some of the most important creations in contemporary Puppet Theatre, Objects and Animated Forms.”

In 2013, Tarumba’s artistic directors were awarded with the Person of the Year Award, within the National Multimedia Awards given by Associação Multimédia (APMP), “by their contribution, innovative and creative work in programming/organising the Festival Internacional de Marionetas e Formas Animadas – FIMFA Lx.”
