The fingers of our hands are no longer enough to count the 25 years of the company A Tarumba – Teatro de Marionetas, manipulating and bringing the inanimate into life. Tarumba means to be confused or perplexed, astounded, fascinated... words that express the general feeling of the company towards this form of art. In this quarter of a century, the company as toured the world and develops several iniciatives, aiming to contribute, mix and connect different artistic languages, audiences and performers. Apart from the shows and the training actions, such as the Funicular Project (a programme of international workshops), A Tarumba is also in charge of the annual programme and production of FIMFA Lx - International Festival of Puppetry and Animated Forms, since 2001, which has been one of the most acknowledged festivals both nationally and internationally.
