Arte Insomne was born in 2015 as a label that seeks to ally various artists for scenic projects in Costa Rica. We generate agreements with the public and private sectors to stage issues of social and political interest in relation to the experiences of the participating artists. Our work aims to communicate through the Performing Arts the need to question or recognize ways of thinking or practices with the environment or with others. Within our proposals, topics related to migration, animal abuse, interpersonal relationships: parents-children-classmates-teachers, death, masculinity, among others, have been addressed.

Arte Insomne generates plays, corporate activations, characters and cultural activities, workshops for communities, artistic design in lighting, puppets or graphics, as well as work related to communication for the performing arts. Among our productions, the following stand out: Arena (2019), The Archimedean Principle (2018), Frappé a story of Dogs! (2016), We Lost Kevin (2015).
