This summer, El Patio Teatro is placing a special focus on France, where the company will present Entrañas at two of the country’s leading puppet festivals. After its French premiere at MIMA 2024, Entrañas will be staged at the renowned RéciDives Festival in Dives-sur-Mer on July 11–12.
Later this summer, Entrañas will also be part of the 23rd Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes in Charleville-Mézières — the world’s largest gathering of puppetry artists and the leading international reference for contemporary puppet theatre.
With Entrañas (Insides), El Patio Teatro invites audiences to a unique, intimate anatomy class where they expose themselves to the interior of the human body. Through object theatre and narrative, they pose questions to unravel some of its mysteries, transforming the stage into a delicate game and a brief anatomy lesson that looks inside us all.
In addition to these French dates, El Patio Teatro will continue touring Europe with A Mano in Santarém, Portugal (July 24–25). They will also appear at several venues in Spain: Entrañas on August 4 at the 14th Festival de Títeres de las Merindades in Salazar; and Feriantes on August 28 as part of the Patron Saint’s Day celebrations in Casas Ibáñez.
