The 2025 edition of Motus Imago – Marionetas, Formas e Coisas em Movimento, promoted by Red Cloud Teatro de Marionetas, comes to an end this Sunday, November 16, with two performances that promise to close this cycle in the best possible way.
This year, as in other areas of the company’s work, Motus Imago was especially dedicated to traditional European puppet forms. The edition also stood out for its international dimension, featuring several guest companies that presented their works both at the Red Cloud Teatro de Marionetas and in other venues in the city.
Such a special edition could only end in celebration – with theatre, music, and special shared moments with the public.
