Anita Maravillas
Anita Maravillas is a company fully dedicated to puppet theatre, with a strong foundation in training and research since its beginnings in Barcelona, and productions created in the Basque Country in close collaboration with ZORNOTZA ARETOA and the production company PORTAL 71. The company was founded in 2005 by Miren Larrea (Basque Country) and Valentina Raposo (Chile). Both trained in a range of puppetry techniques under master puppeteers such as Pepe Otal, Jordi Bertran and the Herta Frankel Company, where they refined the art of string puppetry. The company later welcomed Iván Alonso as director and Ion Chávez as lighting designer. Both have since become core creators and permanent members of the Anita Maravillas collective. A key part of the company’s creative process is the puppet-making workshop, the birthplace of its characters, where every detail is crafted with the utmost care.
