Sinopse
In the present we travel to the past to project a future.
Diving into the universe of the company's founder, João Paulo Seara Cardoso, the Marionetas do Porto creates a show from its dormant archive, recovering puppets, materials, ideas and concepts, taking advantage of the timelessness and transmutation of puppets. Armazém 88 is an ethereal place that reflects on the speed of time, the volatility of things, massification, isolation and how our emotions survive in this urban world.
On this 35th anniversary of Teatro de Marionetas do Porto we present a show that focuses on the reflections of our founder in communion with ours. This is our celebration, our tribute. — Marionetas do Porto
“It’s this strange resonance of theater with life that we obsessively seek.”
João Paulo Seara Cardoso, 2001

Author's bio text
Teatro de Marionetas do Porto was born in September of 1988, a symbolic date that corresponds to the presentation of the company at the Word Festival of Puppet Theatres in Charleville-Mézières. The company’s theatrical practice reveals a non-conventional way of looking at puppets—in fact, an ever-changing notion—and an understanding of puppet theatre as a poetic and visual language reminiscent of contemporaneity. They seek to find new ways of designing puppets, which are ultimately kinetic objects, and new ways of exploring the grammar of this theatrical language concerning performance and the cross-cutting relation with other forms of expression such as dance, visual arts, music and image. In 2013, when it celebrated its 25th anniversary, the company fulfilled the great dream of its founder (João Paulo Seara Cardoso, 1956-2010) and opened the Porto Puppet Museum.
