Manifesto Poetico makes theatre where the abstraction of space, spirit of imagination, and essence of the collective are the basis of storytelling and emotional communication. We have developed a way of composing theatre that uses what we called SPATIAL DRAMATURGY.

We seek a constant creation of theatrical languages incorporating artistic and scientific disciplines as well as multi-cultural influences in order to make popular contemporary theatre that brings the language of the streets to the stage. We propose theatre for and with the people.

Manifesto Poetico puts this into practice in its original TransPoetico Productions (stage directions) and in their research and pedagogic work with The Laboratory. 

Manifesto Poetico opens its laboratory several times a year to share and explore its ongoing research with participating artists.

The current state of the research explores the following territories: Spatial Dramaturgy: Theatrical Language, MaskPoetica: Contemporary Commedia dell’Arte, The Space of Comedy, Bouffon: At the Threshold of Consciousness, Contemporary Tragedy: In Search of Balance, In Search of Unity.

Manifesto Poetico is directed by Carlos García Estévez.
