THE GESSELL – NIKLAUSS PROJECT is a co-production between Teatro Bizarro and Materile Teatro de Formas Animadas.

The exploration in the limits of the art disciplines, makes the borders to blur and in the interstices to arise new forms of storytelling; that search into the extremes led Teatro Bizarro and Materile Teatro de Formas Animadas to find each other, creating a play that expands the dialogue between the plastic and scenic, that changes the conception of puppet theater in Colombia. The aural universe of sound artist David Vélez brings to the play a haunting and lively soundtrack.Rarely the boundaries between different art disciplines converge in such determined way to shape a play that mixes and defies the standard languages ​​and brings into mind that there are no formal limits when it comes to creation.

Bizarro Teatro is a collective formed in 2005 by professionals from different disciplines: theater, performance, design and plastic arts who joined with the common purpose of exploring trans-disciplinary aesthetic experiences in unconventional spaces. The trajectory of the group covers the creation, management and/or production of projects for theater, opera, music and audiovisual.

Materile Teatro de Formas Animadas hhas dedicated 15 years to the research and creation of theater with puppetry and objects, with which has been on stages in Latin America and Asia. Constant work has earned it several District creation awards, the National Creation in theater scholarship in 2014 of the Ministry of Culture of Colombia and the National Scholarship in puppetry and object creation with "El niño de Papel" among other distinctions.
