We are Guixot de 8, a catalan street games company. For the last 20 years we have been inventing games out of trash in our workshop in Tona, Barcelona, Spain.
We pack about 37-38 games into our van and we carry them to any town we are called. Then we put our games in the street and play with anyone who wants to challenge their skills. Our games are based on simple physical and mechanical principles, they don’t need any kind of fuel or electricity, and they are difficult enough to be interesting, for an all-ages audience. Some people think that these games are also like sculptures in some way, and sometimes we have been invited to art festivals like Europ-Art (Geneva), or Drap-Art in Barcelona.
Well, it’s better if you have a look to our web site: http://www.guixotde8.com. There, and in Facebook, you could find pictures of them.
We are starting now to prepare our 2011 summer tour, and we wanted to let you know about our work, and maybe, if you find it interesting, we could take part in your Tec-Art-Eco Festival. We would love to.
Well, we hope you have the chance to visit our web place to meet us. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon,
Buongiorno,
Ero curioso di sapere se siete ancora in fase
di ricerca di artisti per il festival e funzioni 2011.
Saluti,
Guido Maciocci
