About Teatro Punto

Teatro Punto is a theatre company under the artistic leadership of Katrien van Beurden and Carlos García Estévez. The company is based in Amsterdam. Teatro Punto was founded in 1998 by Carlos García Estévez in Paris. He did this with the help and input of actors from different European countries, all trained by Jacques Lecoq.
In 2000 Carlos moved the Company to Madrid where they produced two Commedia dell’ Arte shows. In 2001 the company moved again, this time to Galway in Ireland with Miquel A. Barceló and Judith Higgins, both of whom enacted important developments in the direction of the company. During this period they produced several shows.
In 2003 Carlos met Katrien van Beurden, a Dutch actress, director and trainer in physical theatre, specialized in Commedia dell' Arte. Together they began to direct the company from Amsterdam and created Teatro Punto’s Lab 'CanZannone' near Girona in Spain. Teatro Punto has seven full time actors, as well as one mask maker. Many more actors, opera singers, writers and directors collaborate with the company.
