Who we are
Teatro en Movimiento Callejerx
Teatro en Movimiento Callejerx is a Chilean-Catalan company based in Barcelona that creates street theater and performance works for public and unconventional spaces. Its artistic language emerges from the intersection of physical theater, performance art, visual arts, and sound, utilizing the body, imagery, and objects to transform the perception of the places we inhabit.
The company views public space as a territory for creation and encounter, a place where personal stories, collective conflicts, and landscape transformations can be turned into performance material. Its works craft evocative, poetic experiences that invite us to see our surroundings in a new light.
Its work incorporates ecofeminist, community-oriented, intersectional, and decolonial perspectives, which shape both its creative processes and the themes of its projects. The company specifically explores the relationships between body, territory, nature, memory, community, and belonging, often fostering spaces for participation and collective creation within its processes.
Founded in 2016 in Valparaíso, Teatro en Movimiento Callejerx currently operates out of Barcelona and has presented its work in Spain, Chile, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It has received the 2023 SOS Cultura Award (FiraTàrrega / Fundació Carulla), the *Escribir para la Calle* (Writing for the Street) Grant (PATEA / Fundación SGAE / INAEM), and the *Projectes Socials i Comunitaris d’Art Feminista* (Social and Community Feminist Art Projects) award from Matria.coop, in addition to receiving support and residencies from various creative spaces.
Its projects include Siluetes d’Aigua (Water Silhouettes), a traveling street theater piece that transforms public space into a shifting landscape to address water as a vital resource, a repository of memory, and a source of conflict. It is currently developing TERRA (Earth), a new work exploring roots, migration, belonging, and territory, and Cuerpos en Eco (Echoing Bodies), a collective creation project developed under the RADIX open call.
