Throughout the years of the International Puppet Festival of Santillana del Mar, many esteemed companies have gone through their streets such as the likes of Victor Antonov, considered a master Russian puppeteer in his country in the art of puppets thread.
Jordi Bertran's company, with over 20 years experience has now had six shows rotating throughout the world.
This year we have been fortunate to have with us 13 companies from America, Europe and Spain. Outstanding talent such as the Mikropodium Hungarian Company, with his show Stop. Argentina Buenos Aires Puppet Company, which surprised the whole audience with his show for Bartango adults.
Perhaps one of the shows that both children and adults like best is the one that closed the festival performed by the Czech company Vita Marcik, Snow White.
We have spent two years working very hard to make the Bisóntere Festival a key reference in Spain, trying to book companies and original acts that will bring the world of puppetry to all audiences.
