IN-PULSO COMPANY
Founded in 2016 in the northern mountains of Madrid, driven by Mari Cruz Planchuelo´s desire to create a space to talk about the human being from different aspects, through dance, the performer-actor-puppet manipulator.
For her first work, she joins Sonia Muñoz to create Fauno, an expressionist piece of dance and puppetry where they reflect upon the beautiful and monstrous.
