This research focuses on the different visions of the female body and the gender issue in puppet theatre in Spain developed by the theatre company Winged Cranes based in Madrid through the study of three of its most relevant productions: Don Kiss me, I’m in training; The soldier with no name and Bernarda’s Backstage. An analysis of the multicultural and interdisciplinary contexts in which Winged Cranes has been formed and developed its artistic work is proposed. The performative bodies created by this company for the stage are analyzed by examining the puppets shown in its productions. This investigation values the contribution of Winged Cranes to the representation of women in puppet theatre and theatre in general in Spain from a feminist and a gender perspective.
