This week, 1 of 16: Titirimadroño: Madrid International Puppet Theater Festival




Titirimadroño is Madrid's international puppet theater festival, held each fall in Puente de Vallecas. Much of the week is for adults, but the closing weekend is made for families: puppet shows in a park and indoors, a hands-on puppet-making workshop, and play installations built from recycled materials. Some shows add Spanish Sign Language or live audio description, and every space is wheelchair accessible.
