Teatro Matacandelas

Teatro Matacandelas is a legendary theater collective founded in 1979, which has been creating avant-garde performances, puppet theater, and original musical productions for over 40 years.

This place stands out for its authentic, underground character—its small, intimate space allows you to experience Colombian theater culture up close. The company has staged over 60 productions, including performances dealing with difficult historical topics in Colombia.

Its work was honored with the title of Cultural Heritage of Medellín in 1991.
