Since its origin, the Festín de los muñecos has carried out activities focused on all age ranges, in order to contribute to the objective of showing the thematic and aesthetic versatility of our art: The artistic programming considers formats that can be focused on children from early or middle ages (from preschool to elementary school), as well as works focused on teenagers and/or adults, with contents, aesthetics and formats that are designed for these audiences in different environments: theaters, non-conventional spaces, schools, nursing homes, community centers, neighborhoods, squares, towns and all kinds of places susceptible to receive our art.

The programming includes in its dissemination, the information containing the suggestion of ages, contents and languages, and the activities programmed in non-theatrical spaces are carefully selected and focused on these spaces according to their characteristics.

In the open spaces, our programming contemplates “family” profiles, that is to say, works that can be presented to diverse audiences of mixed ages.
