Cabaret de Insectos: Dracularium Freak (Insects Cabaret) is a show inspired on the old freak shows, in ancient myths of terror and in some characters from Dracula by Bram Stoker. During the performance we learn that this cabaret was offered by Dr. John Seward to one of his patients and ancestor of this curious family. This cabaret was originally created by the eccentric Renfield, which feeds mostly on insects, and ancestor of a curious family…
A truly museum of curiosities, extremely visual that uses various manipulation techniques.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, a unique opportunity is waiting for you in our cabinet of monstrosities... pardon me... in our ‘Insects Cabaret'!...
We could even speak of a true bestiary with fabulous insects from all corners of our planet... and we will reveal many secrets, you can be sure that you will see things you’ve never seen before!...
Do not miss the opportunity to see the dance of death by an Archimantis Latistyla! A duel of Tabanus Sulcifrons! The oriental dances by Blatta Orientalis and the erotism of the can-can by a group of Titanacris Albipes! Yeah ... sure, we also have a flea orchestra!... We cannot reveal more… But you can be certain that we will haunt your imagination...! Ladies and gentlemen, put your seatbelts and nets, the show is about to start!"

BIO
A Tarumba - Teatro de Marionetas is a Portuguese professional theatre company, created in 1993. Its purpose is to spread and promote puppet and visual theatre. Tarumba means to be confused or perplexed, astounded, fascinated, stunned, astonished… and expresses how the company generally envisions puppetry art.
The artistic project comprises: creation and artistic experimentation; the International Festival of Puppetry and Animated Forms - FIMFA Lx organization; training and research with the creation of a Puppetry Arts Centre | Centro de Artes da Marioneta - CAMa.
Since 2001, A Tarumba organizes annually the International Festival of Puppetry and Animated Forms - FIMFA Lx. The company received the Critics Award 2010 given to FIMFA and the artistic directors, Luís Vieira and Rute Ribeiro, received the Personality Award 2013, by their work on the festival.
The company has been performing all over Portugal and abroad in many international festivals (France - Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes de Charleville-Mézières 2013 – Programme IN, Denmark, Czech Republic, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia, Pakistan, India, Hungary or United Kingdom), especially for an adult audience, with shows by Christopher Marlowe, Federico Garcia Lorca or Bertolt Bercht, among others. Besides the shows A Tarumba develops experimental workshops on puppetry arts, specifically for professionals, teachers or children, like, for instance, toy theatre or shadow workshops.
During these 22 years of activity, Tarumba created an important artistic collection, consisting of puppets made by the company, for each play, old and ‘historical’ puppets, Toy theatres (originals from 19th century and beginnings of 20th century), theatre books, especially about puppet theatre, photographs, programs and posters that are present in the Puppetry Arts Centre - CAMa, created by the company in 2007, and where A Tarumba also develops the Project Funicular - a training program of international workshops.
