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 and in their research and pedagogic work with The Laboratory.
In addition to its two main pillars, Manifesto Poetico also offers workshops and small sessions focused on its extensive research into Contemporary Commedia dell’Arte. Additionally, we provide a therapeutic process called MaskTherapy, available to both artists and non-artists.
In recent years, we have also begun offering Residency Funds at our home base for individuals who have previously worked or studied with us.
Manifesto Poetico is directed by Carlos García Estévez.
