Directed by: Gavin Glover (UK)
4 to 6 December 2026 (Friday to Sunday)
São Luiz Teatro Municipal - Sala de Ensaios - Lisboa
Renowned puppeteer Gavin Glover returns to Projeto Funicular with another exceptional workshop, this time focusing on manipulation and experimentation. A unique opportunity to expand creative boundaries and explore new languages by delving into the wildest, darkest, most visceral, and poetic dimensions of contemporary puppetry.
Co-founder of the legendary British company Faulty Optic, Gavin Glover is widely recognized for his singular aesthetic, where the grotesque, dark humor, micro cinema, and manipulation techniques unite to create unforgettable visual universes.
New ideas, new tools.
In this new experimental workshop we will push the boundaries of puppetry as we know it and distort our fundamental assumptions of Puppet Theatre.
A unique opportunity to learn from the knowledge and expertise of Gavin Glover.
For: Puppeteers, actors, dancers, scenographers, directors, visual artists, performing arts professionals and students - no puppetry experience necessary
