History

edit

Founded by Miguel Ángel Martín Bordera, son of “falleros” of long tradition and renowned prestige, Carros de Foc has evolved from a street animation group towards a new urban theater concept away from the conventional. It is a Spanish Urban Theatre company whose philosophy in their works is to transport the audience into magic and fantastic atmospheres. They try to turn every urban space or event where they participate into a unique experience for the audience through a refined work with lighting effects, image and sounds. There is where The Giant Mobile Sculptures become important and join the other artistic disciplines, such as air acrobatics, rope choreographies or fire fans.
