Puppets of La Tartana Theatre

The Spanish puppet theatre La Tartana in Madrid will soon celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Founded by Juan Munoz in 1977, it continues uninterrupted under the direction of its founder and co-author of most of its performances. Theatrical exhibitions showcase the uniqueness and appeal of its puppets. Their diversity and originality, the richness of its materials and construction solutions. The artists use wood, papier-mâché, clay, silicone, various resins, aluminum, and even iron. Alongside classic hand puppets and table puppets, La Tartana's repertoire includes puppets on poles, marionettes, large street forms, and unique puppets moving on pegs.

This wealth of materials, construction and animation techniques used makes La Tartana's performances unforgettable, and even though the puppets no longer perform on stage, they continue to delight exhibition visitors.
