Calling all theatre-keen Formentera rugrats: 'Algodón' is for you

Formentera's Office of Culture wishes to announce that Domenica, a stage production originally scheduled for 8.30pm on Saturday, March 17, has been cancelled for reasons beyond the Council's control.

Taking its place is Escena Miriñaque's Algodón, a work of theatre for toddlers ages one to three. Given the production's reduced format, no more than thirty toddlers may be on the stage, each accompanied by an adult. With sixty spectators on stage to see the action up close, the remaining adults can follow the show from the stands.

Synopsis
When we leave home with our eyes to the ground, we miss the new skies up above.

Cotton landscapes, unique and ethereal, in constant transformation.

If we stop for a moment, we see Violeta, a high-flying, slender, peacock of a cloud. Or Gastón. He's a big one. Grey and chubby. Clouds like emotions in the cages of our hearts. Joyful things, yellow with sun, others running scared from the dark. Each has got a name, a colour, an emotion. Up above you'll find the inhabitants of Algodón.

The show starts at 5.30pm on Saturday, March 17 in the cinema (Sala de Cultura). Admission for adults and children is three euros.

Important: reservations must be made in advance by calling the Office of Culture at 971 32 12 75 or sending an email to cultura@conselldeformentera.cat
