The Mundo Titere International Puppet Festival - Argentina

Thanks to the valuable collaboration of the Canadian Embassy in Argentina, we would like to consider a non-verbal Canadian production [small format shows program - one or two artists] for our festival program. PROPOSAL DEADLINE:  August 10th.

Our Festival provides local transportation, accommodation ,food and an artistic fee to arrange with the guest groups.


Also, we works linking our dates with other Intl Puppet Festivals and Theatres  in México, Colombia,Dominican Republic, Chile,Uruguay, Perú and Brazil,becoming feasible to combine then as a Latin American tour. We could  collaborate to arrange it, eventually.
