About | RubiK Theater

Estitxu Zaldua and Juanjo Herrero, these two physical actors have the Degree in Physical and Visual Theatre from the Institut del Teatre (Barcelona). Both artists share the same imaginary and they bet on a particular way to make theatre. Their pieces show the resources they have learnt on their training: based on dance, object manipulation and applied biomechanics, they create theatrical scores.

This company gets immersed into the search of a defined gesture and goes deeper on the movement, the expressivity of the body, the word and the space. This whole plastic composition, forms an own dramaturgy.

Their work is characterized by visual and poetics elements where the audience has the chance to feel, perceive and interpret what they see.
