Magna mata was founded by Ari La Chispa and Guido El Tallo in 1991. The wide palette of their artistic work ranges from purely solo and duo performances through guest appearances (e.g. in the Stuttgart State Theatre's production of "Carmen" under the direction of Carlos Saura) to dance theatre productions and grand performances with 20 dancers.        Co-productions with flamenco artists from Jerez, in particular Antonio de los Rios writing texts and compositions, or with performance artists from Berlin, such as Dead Chickens, Bob Ruthman, TMF Powersaw and the actor Oliver Marlo, all help to form magna mata's own artistic profile.
