Humans never stop producing wishes. But most of them are lost in space and time. They do not reach their destination. From time to time, the gods decide to deal with them. They meddle in our lives as if it were a game. They decide to invent at their discretion, to play with the characters of this story, to confuse them, to laugh at them and, finally, to let them lose their way through the dark, winding labyrinth of human weaknesses.
Animasur Teatro was founded in Granada in 1998 and, since then, has produced more than 50 shows. In 2010 they presented CAU, the first Circus and Theatre school in Andalusia. They are committed to new languages and to current affairs, and at the same time implement different lines of action, including events and courses in Brazil, Cape Verde, Morocco, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

On this journey we are accompanied by three things: a pumpkin, a moustache and a suitcase. One life, one path; and like all courses, one destination: to make children smile.
Don Miguel was born in 1923. His early years feed on his imagination, which will become his most powerful tool. His first toy is a little pumpkin he uses as a rattle. He does not know that this will be his first puppet. Starting in his childhood, with Tina Madrina we will travel through amusing parts of his life up to the creation of Peneque the Brave, his iconic protagonist.
A Pioneer of modern puppet theatre, Miguel Pino (1923-2023) took his cardboard and felt characters from town squares to major theatres. Generation after generation, children have shouted “Peneque, Peneque, where are you?” His magic is now brought to us by his sons Miguel and Antonio Pino, the heirs of this art who are celebrating their father and maestro’s one hundredth birthday.

Despite popular belief, monsters are good beings who tell children stories to make them feel happy when they go to bed. One day, Harapo gets angry because his friend Galtzerdi has written a tale that becomes very successful. When Harapo hides the story, they have a big argument, and the screaming causes the vowels to abandon the monsters. Since then, the monsters are mistakenly thought to be 'scary', but Harapo and Galtzerdi will try to recover them together with their friend Malala, a child inventor.
TanTonTería was founded in Málaga in 2017 and has produced five shows: Gruñidos, Tiempos viejos [Old times], La vida es cuento [Life is a tale], Bouleverser and Cora. It has participated in prestigious events and festivals such as the Jornadas de Siglo de Oro de Almería [Symposium on the Golden Age in Almeria] and the Corral de Comedias [medieval comedy theater] at the Classics Festival in Alcalá. Tiempos viejos won the awards for Best Show, Best Direction, Best Actress and Best Actor at the 2019 MálagaCrea Performing Arts exhibition.

The four walls of Kiku’s home are his kingdom, a place where imagination turns everyday objects into a game. Anything that Kiku looks at is transformed into a universe. But the "kingdom at home" is in jeopardy. The minutes of watches tick non-stop, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life has caused all living creatures in Kikú's imagination to hide.
Founded in Madrid, developed in London and consolidated in Malaga, the company Stroke114 seeks to create experiential performances, using new formats and stage languages.

On a winter afternoon, a little girl was trying to fend off the cold and the wind to get home. Someone observed her from above: the Sun’s son, who was in charge of the change of seasons. He quickly came down to help her, and decided he would give her a flower. However, he was greatly surprised when he realised he could not because of the weather! Finally, the sun’s son made friends with the little girl…with the help of determination, effort and creativity.
