Company
Xirriquiteula Teatre was formed in Badalona, Barcelona, in 1985.
Throughout these years we have created and produced shows for both the street and theatres,
always aimed at kids.
Each project has been approached in a craftsmanlike way, taking care over the tiniest details to offer our audiences quality theatre.
Surrounding ourselves with talented professional collaborators on each show, we have devised most of our shows collectively. Our process of researching, experimenting and improvising is always highly enriching for the growth of both our company and our members.
