About the Company
Silencio Blanco is a theater company in which we work and investigate a language of our own with paper marionettes and in silence.
Silencio Blanco has distinguished itself by its meticulous work with puppets of great expressiveness, made from everyday materials such as newspaper and chopsticks. The company devises its productions from observation and field research, delving into the lives of everyday people and solitary jobs. Exploring from gesture and forgoing text they are able to transfer human’s movement towards the marionettes provoking an illusion in the audience to the point of transmitting the character’s heartbeat.
The emotional eloquence of the marionettes along with the thematic depth of its shows have taken the company to present its work at prominent stages abroad such as; Belgium (Krokus Festival, Hasselt), Portugal (Gulbenkian Foundation and Puppets Museum on Lisbon Iberoamerican Capital of Culture), France (Charleville-Mézières World Puppets Festival), UK (Brighton Festival, CASA Festival), Poland (Animart, Lodz), Denmark (Odin Teatret), and USA (Mid Atlantics Foundation’s Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, 8 states Tour lead organizer by the MCA Chicago curator).
