A performer is burning books in a dark room full of sand

A lot of people are sitting around the dinner table and some of them are looking at the camera smiling.

We’ve been creating for 17 years and have an impressive list of more than 50 shows!

Many of them have been recognised by world media, critics, cultural and political leaders. Some of them received awards, succeeded to make a change, or foresee the future. As for example, one of the latests shows predicted the war Russia started in Ukraine.

You are welcome to find more about them below. Enjoy!
