About us
Founded in 2018, Batbox Productions is comprised of a team of collaborators from different disciplines. This group of professionals has allowed the company to quickly establish itself as one of the new and noteworthy proposals in contemporary dance on the local scene, without neglecting its initial steps at the national and international levels.
In recent years, the company has garnered support and funding from various institutions, including the European Union, the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music, Acción Cultural Española PICE Programs, SGAE Foundation, the Community of Madrid, and the City Council of Madrid.
