Periferia Teatro has been professionally dedicated to puppet theater since 1989. Its nucleus is made up of Juan Manuel Quiñonero Redondo and Mª Socorro García Ferrández, who combine acting and directing tasks.

Throughout these years of work we have created and told stories with puppets, proving that this theatrical art is more alive than ever and that it is an excellent means of reaching the soul of the spectator, both the child and the adult accompanies.

The company is actively engaged in the study and research of the puppet, seeking new forms of communication in each new show.

It is part of UNIMA (International Puppet Union). UNIMA partners belonging to more than ninety countries cooperate with each other to promote and develop this artistic form, safeguarding its present and future. It also belongs to the TeVeo association of children’s theater and Murciaescena, association of theater companies of Murcia.

In recent years, the company Periferia Teatro has had the great fortune to be able to show its latest shows, «Pingüin», «Pocosueño», «Guyi-Guyi», «Traces», «Fly feathers» and «Cloud Cloud» for almost all of Spain and several countries in the world . The national and international awards we have received, as well as the aid received from INAEM, AECID, Instituto Cervantes and the ICA of Murcia, have greatly helped in the consolidation and projection of the company.

We have translated some of our shows into Catalan, English and French. We have been to Mexico, India, Japan, USA, Colombia, Belgium, Chile, France, Taiwan …, places where we have been able to verify that the laughter of a child is universal and that the art of the Puppet Theater is present everywhere the world, manifesting in varied and multiple forms.
