A little bit of our own story…
ymedioteatro is an Scenic Arts company formed by a solid professional team that has evolved to develop a mutual artistic project based on works which move across the text theatre, objects, clown, etc.
A brave creative career that defines their multidisciplinary and emotive productions and locates them as a reference company with the biggest international projection in Andalusia.
Since 2006, they have produced six shows that have taken them to the most relevant theatre networks, programs, fairs and festivals in Spain (such as Fira Tàrrega, FETEN, Fira de Titelles de Lleida, etc.).
In 2012, they jump into the international market with their show SIE7E, an innovative proposal of object puppets which is presented inside a miniature theatre with room for 15 people per session.
The great success of this spectacle has turned them into one of the usual companies in the most prominent European festivals about street arts, object theatre, visual theatre, puppetry and new scenic trends. So much so that, during the latest years, 80% of the company’s performances take place out of Spain.
Their last show, EchO, fuses together their personal object theatre with clown, movement and mime, developing a very visual spectacle, in a universal language, about human relationships, their tenderness and tightness.
