From Puppetring magazine, Toni Rumabu and Cesc Martinez propose a theater workshop focused on objects and shadows and their poetic dimensions. What is hidden in the objects can reveal quite a few things of our world and of ourselves. Browse this universe to see how we can use it on stage, is the aim of the workshop, which will incorporate in its final stage shadow theater as a way of distortion of the apparent realities and creating other visual perspectives able to turn the world upside down.

Final goal of the workshop: finding real and useful creation mechanisms through the word, objects and shadows, and bring the result to the stage.

Over four sessions of five hours, we will work various aspects of composition with objects, text and shadows on a stage set. The work is based on creativity exercises in relation to various issues and examples will be shelling throughout the workshop, as the relation between the actual meaning of the word, the object as a dramaturgical construction signifier and the characteristics poetics of each object.
