The city of Elche will host the IV Calendureta Ibero-American Puppet, Object, and Visual Theater Festival from April 14 to 30, a cultural event featuring 43 performances by international companies.

This cultural event focuses on Ibero-American performing arts and will feature the participation of companies from countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Portugal, and Germany.
Performances will take place at Sala La Carreta in Elche and in various other municipal spaces. Additionally, thanks to the collaboration of the Miguel Hernández University and the support of the Department of Culture, the festival will expand its programming to squares, parks, and rural districts to bring performing arts closer to new audiences.
As a new feature, Calendureta will also extend its presence to other towns such as Santa Pola, Aspe, Cullera, Valencia, Alicante, Molina del Segura, and Murcia.
This edition of the festival is supported by the Iberescena Program, an international initiative that promotes cultural cooperation and artistic mobility among Ibero-American countries. The full program can be consulted on the official websites of the event.
