The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to announce the arrival of Soc una nou, the second show on the fall 2022 calendar of L'Illa a Escena. This multi-award winning production opens at Sala de Cultura (Cinema) on Sunday 2 October at 6.00pm.

The show presents the comical and endearing story of a boy and his relationship with his neighbours. Marinetti is a relentless and bitter solicitor who has called the police on most of the neighbourhood. Everything changes the day Omar, an orphaned refugee, falls from a branch of Marinetti's walnut tree and transforms her life completely.

Since their founding in 1994, Lleida-based Zum Zum Teatre has brought to life 15 productions, always driven by a commitment to recount stories with world-class artistic quality. Soc una nou won the 2021 Feten Prizes for Best Direction and Best Choral Performance.

Prices and tickets
Tickets are available for €4 at www.entradesformentera.cat. Unemployed people and underemployed freelancers, retirees, under-25s, individuals with functional diversity, and single-parent and large families pay half price.

From Tuesday 27 September, Centre Antoni Tur "Gabrielet" will welcome the collective exhibition "Retorn al sentir", a convergence of artists with the idea of feeling the same energy. Participating artists include Anna Ametller, Paz Aguado, Natalia Lisinicchia, Irene Pons, Natalia Vik, Fabiana Schulz and Silvina Taffuri.

The exhibition, which will open at 7.00pm, consists of a set of pieces of varying artistic, audiovisual, music and dance techniques and features the participation of the movement workshop of Valeria del Vecchio and Pimpi. The theme of the pieces is "the return to feeling, the rootedness in the body, in sensoriality and sensuality; the return to the yin energy that all of us possess and which is often blocked", as highlighted in a text which accompanies the display.

The exhibition will be on view until 6 October, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 6.00pm to 9.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
