The celebrated Ultima Hora Colectivo from Mexico City specializes in large-scale marionettes. Their monumental marionettes were featured in the opening scene of the film Spectre. The Colectivo Última Hora was founded in 2004 by students of the Fábrica de Artes y Oficios Oriente, also known as FARO de Oriente, which is a cultural center and arts training facility located in Mexico City. The Última Hora Collective is dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of plastic arts focused on the popular cultures of Mexico. Colectivo Última Hora works on sculptures and sets, in small and large formats, in diverse materials such as traditional cardboard, carpentry and artistic blacksmithing, as well as the use of polymers and resins for various finishes.
