MARCH 2016,from VALENCIA to HONG KONG
March has arrived and we host A MANO (BY HAND) at TEM theatre in Valencia, in the popular neighborhood of EL CABANYAL, where the show was deeply and warmly received.
It was really a pleasure having EL PATIO TEATRO again in Valencia and enjoy the show and the company's presence at home, because we won't see them again on tour until the end of May. The company is in a creative process at the moment and hopefully we will know more of the new piece by mid May.
March goes on and Valencia is surrounded by fireworks, noise and music and Fallas, the local arts festival… while Spring is approaching.
This year we will meet Spring while on an airplane, somewhere or nowhere in the sky, where time crashes with space and relativity is King.
And while we will be landing the month will go on and on and we will discover how March looks like in Asia by walking throughout the noisy Kowloon streets in HONG KONG. Why traveling up there? Our favorite Spanish dance company for young audiences, ARACALADANZA, presents their Miro's tribute CONSTELLATIONS in the city!
To those who are nearby or have time to fly up there, here it goes our invitation:
Theatre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre / HONG KONG
25th of March, 19:30h
26th of March, 15:00h and 19.30h
27th of March, 15:00h
Plus: creative dance workshop for kids from above 6 years old on the 27th of March at 11:30h.
Have a wonderful Spring of Arts!
El Patio Teatro tours in Germany and Belgium and new projects
A MANO continues to be unstoppable. After 2015, in which the show was presented in 14 different countries besides Spain- with many twists and turns in some of these countries- and during which the new company received awards for their work ( Best Show award in Marburg, Germany and Great Award and refined manipulation of objects in Bucharest, Romania), El Patio Teatro turns to the creation of a new project, with every intention of doing another great job.
They will follow the international tours, but at a slower pace to give space and time to the process of creating and testing the new piece.
In January A MANO will return to Germany and will open at a major festival of theater of objects, IMAGINALE. There will be tours in several cities in addition to appearances at the HORIZONTE festival organized by the Main Theater of Ingolstadt, in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The 22nd: Mannheim at 11:00am and 5:00pm
The 23rd: Stuttgart at 3:00pm and 5:00pm
The 24th: Ludwisburg at 3:00pm
The 25th: Ludwisburg at 9:30am
The 27th: Ingolstadt at 9:30am and 11:00am
After Germany, in early February A MANO will open in a new Eurpoean country, BELGIUM!
From the 6th to the 7th of February, the show will appear in KROKUS, the prestigious theater festival for children and youth in Hasselt. We are eager to see and enjoy the reactions of children of Belgium along with Izaskun and Julian, with the clay and the characters of the small shop of objects.
The 6th: Hasselt at 3:00
The 7th: Hasselt at 2:00 and 4:00
IKEBANAH for the first time in IPAY Showcase / Montreal
In late January, between 26 and 31, we will go first to IPAY SHOWCASE, a big market of performing arts for children and youth which is held annually in North America.
This year it will be held in the Canadian city of Montreal and, with prospects of a bitter cold and snow, we return to this beautiful city to be present with a promotional stand to introduce the American market to the works of our companies, Aracaladanza, El Patio Teatro and Xirriquiteula Teatre.
Curiously enough, we will be the only Spanish company represented in this sector at the fair!
During the 5 days of the event, in addition to the business side of things, there will be shows by up to 18 international companies which we look very much forward to seeing.
MOSES returns! THE TABLE returns!
Blind Summit Theater presents THE TABLE again at Teatro de la Abadía in MADRID, from the 16th to the 20th of February.
We could not be happier... We confess to being unfailing admirers of MOSES returns, this charming, intelligent, charismatic, and stubborn puppet... who also has a tender and dignified heart.
After the successful premiere at the Festival de Otoño a Primavera in February 2015, a year later we have a new opportunity to marvel at the excellent and masterful manipulation of three puppeteers actors and versatility, liveliness and humanity of this character.
THE TABLE is a masterpiece. Blind Summit Theatre, pioneers in puppet theater for adults. We wait for you.
