About us

The artistic project

We are a stable team of artists from different branches of the performing arts who are dedicated to the contemporary creation of theater and dance shows for all audiences. With the artistic direction of Marc Hervàs and the production of Clara Dalmau, we share our artistic project with fifteen other professionals. In 2007, in the town of Sant Martí de Tous, we founded the stage production company Ca l’Ubú, SL, from where we carry out both our own projects and commissioned projects.

Our main artistic goal is formal research, based on the possibilities offered by the performing arts, to find new ways of interpreting reality and, thus, have more tools to live in freedom. The recipients of our creations are people like us, families who don’t want to miss anything and who want to grow up with the best of both cultures: the humanities and the sciences.

Our productions have been seen in the main theaters and festivals of our country, such as the National Theater of Catalonia, the Temporada Alta festival, La Mostra d’Igualada, the Fira Mediterrània, the Al carrer de Viladecans festival or the Puppet Fair from Lleida; also from the Spanish state, such as the FETEN fair, the Almagro Clásico Theater Festival, the Naves de Matadero del Teatro Español, the Musika-Música festival in Bilbao, the CaixaForums throughout Spain… And also, on occasion, we have traveled around the world, and have gone to festivals such as the Uijeongbu Music Theater Festival, in South Korea, or the International Arts Carnival in Hong Kong. We have also been responsible for directing two productions of the Petit Liceu (the ballet “Petruixka” and the opera “Oh, l’amor!”); the concert for the Social Work of “La Caixa” “Un te a la menta”, and four concerts for L’Auditori de Barcelona (“Wimoweh”, “Percussions”, “Els colors del metall” and “Els nous metal colors”).

Puppet theater

We make puppet theater for families who want to grow up with the best of both cultures: the humanities and the sciences. We seek to respond to the interests of contemporary children based on the best children’s literature of all time and the latest scientific advances.

Dance

We do contemporary dance shows for all audiences. We want children to explore the expressive capacity of the human body when dancing. And bring children the best music of the Western tradition: Stravinsky, Frederic Mompou, Luís de Narváez, Frédéric Chopin.

Staged concerts

We do staged classical music concerts for all audiences. We want children to experience the richness of cultured music as a natural and enriching experience. We believe that Mozart, Chopin and Debussy are also childhood heritage.

Commissioned work

We also do commissioned shows and collaborations with other production companies or theaters. We have worked for the National Theater of Catalonia, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the “la Caixa” Foundation.
