The Company
The shadow theater company was founded in 2009 by puppeteers Olga Olveira and Juvenal Salcedo. Olga is also an illustrator and Juvenal is an architect and they themselves design and build the puppets, lights, scenery, ingenuities and other mechanisms of their shows.
From the beginning, Virginia Olveira has collaborated in the company as stage director and Jaume Tugores as composer of the soundtracks of the shows.
They have several shows, workshops and audiovisual productions, all oriented to work and investigate the aesthetic, technical, expressive and narrative possibilities offered by shadow theater.
