El Retablo de Maese Pedro by Etcétera inaugurates the newly renovated Teatro Romea in the city of Murcia

Posted by | Mar 7, 2012 | , |

On the 9th of March the Teatro Romea in the city of Murcia will once again open its doors after having been closed for several years. This real architectural beauty, built in 1962 in neo-classical style, is characterised by a wonderful façade in an eclectic style that includes modernist details such as the theatre awning, and the cast iron grilles that decorate the entrance alongside the busts of Beethoven, Mozart and Listz. To celebrate the inauguration of this new period, the theatre has chosen Etcétera Teatro’s excellent version of the opera “El Retablo de Maese Pedro” (Master Peter’s Puppet...

Puppet video clip

Posted by | Mar 6, 2012 | |

The video clip of the Spanish singer Leiva has been premiered. In this video clip the puppeteers Carlos Lopez, linked to La Casa-Taller de Pepe Otal, and Jordi Bertran, took part some months ago. The song “Eme” is included in the first album, December, of the bassist and singer from Madrid Pereza. The video, directed by Titán Pozo, is a not short animation film, but a real movie in which the two actors, puppets, suffer from the disappointment of a failed love affair. The figure of the singer is manipulated by Carlos Lopez, who is also responsible for the...

African mask exhibition at TOPIC, Tolosa

Posted by | Mar 6, 2012 | , |

A new temporary exhibition, this time dedicated to Gelede and Efe masks, is opening at TOPIC. Dates: from the 3rd of March to the 10th of June. The distinctive thing about these African masks is that they carry puppets or articulated dolls on top of them, and they come from Benin and Nigeria. The collection that can be seen in Tolosa belongs to the private Dutch collection of Ursela Voorhuis. It contains 43 unique masks that have only ever been exhibited at the International Puppet Festival in Dordrecht in 2010 and now here, in Tolosa. But this will be the...

Damiet van Dalsum makes Awards for Women’s Commission

Posted by | Mar 5, 2012 | , |

Puppeteer van Dalsum got a special assignement by the UNIMA Women’s Commission: to create two special awards. The figures, objects and decors of Damiët van Dalsum are made to represent stories, to arouse illusions and to create an imaginary world in which children, and sometimes adults as well, can lose themselves. They are not meant to be shown as autonomous art objects. Besides their remarkable theatrical qualities, the puppets have a visual power of their own. It’s not easy to say what their attraction is. They’re made of almost nothing – pieces of cardboard, wire and feathers, chance objects...
