MARAVILLA THEATER is a multidisciplinary contemporary theatre company that creates original productions based on research into the language of the performer’s body – ‘Corporal Narraturgy or Narrative of the Body’- in multiple stage formats. Her discourse is immersed in a clear historical, political and social denunciation context. His productions are authentic shows of interpretative authenticity in which the actors break with the theatrical convention of the character and experience in their own flesh all the strength and physical-emotional power of the show. In his productions he deepens the actor/spectator relationship. The aim of the performer is to create a space of intimacy and provocation through theatrical ritual and to channel the ‘stage experience’ together.
