Travelers by nature and passion, the group formed a vast repertory of shows and detached scenes that are adaptable to many spaces, audiences, and occasions.
Considering that it is a technique not very diffused and of high stylistic rigor, the Centro Teatral e Etc e Tal has conquered the respect and admiration of public and critics all over the country as an artistic nucleus which embodies technical virtuousness, scenic presence, and a unique humor in their theatric shows. .
