About
FIMFA Lx is Portugal's main puppet theater festival, programmed every year since 2001 by the Lisbon puppet company A Tarumba. Companies from around the world bring shadow play, object theater, puppets and poetic machines to the city's theaters. Not every show is meant for children. The organizer marks a family-friendly strand each edition, and that is where to start. It suits kids who can sit through a full show.
