Teatro del Drago
Teatro del Drago is the theatrical company of the Monticelli family, one of the oldest performing art families active in the puppet and marionette sector since the first half of the nineteenth century.
Mauro and Andrea, the Monticelli brothers, represent the fifth generation of this uninterrupted tradition and currently the artistic directors.
The company’s activity is twofold
Tradition is on one hand, with theatrical performances of traditional finger puppets and the conservation of the materials of the Monticelli Collection;
On the other hand, theatrical research, through contemporary puppetry shows, in which a personal and original artistic line emerges, both in the use of materials and in animation techniques.
Our research design is sustained by the puppetry and marionette tradition, to conserve and transmit, acknowledging the importance of historical roots
