ABOUT US
ARTANON was born from the passion, discipline, and dedication of Luis Ernesto Alipaz and Marcela Arzabe, artists and creators with more than 29 years of experience in the world of musical theatre in Bolivia. With a clear vision to professionalize the performing arts in the country, ARTANON has established itself as an integrated platform that combines rigorous training with high-level stage production.
Our academy aims to train complete artists, developing their skills in singing, dancing, and acting with both technical and emotional focus, while our company produces musical theatre shows with demanding standards, working with multidisciplinary casts and top-level technical teams.
More than just a school or a company, ARTANON is a community that values the process as much as the result: we believe in rehearsal as a way of life, and in drama as a legitimate form of expression and transformation.
Mission
ARTANON’s mission is to train integral performing artists and produce musical theatre productions with excellence, commitment, and artistic sensitivity. Through discipline, creativity, and collaborative work, we aim to raise the level of musical theatre in Bolivia, offering our students and audiences experiences that transform, move, and inspire.
Vision
We aspire to be the national benchmark in training and production of musical theatre, and to position ourselves as a regional hub for performing artists and creators. Our vision is to build a space where artistic education is deep, demanding, and liberating, and where our productions not only entertain, but also leave a mark on the audience’s soul and on the history of Bolivian art.
