 Curriculum

He studied at the National Puppet Theatre of Cuba and improved his studies attending courses on puppeteering and drama with Armando Morales (director of the National Puppet Theatre of Cuba), a course on puppet theatre with Roberto Espina and Héctor Di Mauro and training on the glove puppet technique with the puppeteer Yang Fai. In 2002, he also attended a summer course organised by the UNIMA.
As far as his labour experience is concerned, he made his début in 1983 at ‘Rabindranath Tagore’ Puppet Theatre, where he stayed until 1987. It was then that he entered the National Puppet Theatre of Cuba, where he participated in sixteen performances and seven international tours as an actor and puppeteer. In 1995, he created ‘TÍTERES CASCANUECES’, a puppet project with which he participated in the Book Fair of Guadalajara (Mexico, 1996). Two years later, he moved to Galicia, where he established ‘TÍTERES CASCANUECES’ head office. From 1997 to 2003, the company created the puppet theatre repertoire, mainly dedicated to children, although there are also plays for adults:
-‘Un cuento viejo vuelto a contar’ (Children).
-‘Redoblante y Meñique’ (Children).
-‘A rúa das fantasmas’ (Children).
-‘Ikú & Elegguá’ (Children).
