Greta the Mouse... that swept the staircase.
Greta ia a mouse, and a great artist; she juggles, swings from the trapeze, walks the tightrope and... sweeps the theatre. While passing the broom under the stage one night after the show, she finds a coin! Her friend, Rinaldo, a member of the backstage crew, advises her to buy a pretty bow to put on her tail, but Greta is determined: she will use it to produce a great show! Today is the day of the auditions to determine which animal will be her partner on stage. Will it be the ventriloquist Cock? Or the Pig visual arts performer? Or perhaps the Dog flea circus owner? Or perhaps the Donkey Magician? Or will she fall into the claws of the mentalist Cat?
From 1st March to 24th March, 2019
Patufet
Patufet is a very, very small boy. So small that he sleeps in a tin of sardines and hides under a cabbage leaf. So small that his parents are afraid that if he goes out into the street, people will not see him and ... chaf! But he is also very clever, brave and stubborn! This morning, when he got up, Patufet was absolutely sure; today will be a day full of adventures!
From 9th to 28th April, 2019

Routines
Un espectacle de titelles inspirat en la tradició popular europea que durant segles s'ha representat en carrers, places, parcs i petits teatres, tant per a públic jove com per a adults. Com el propi títol indica, "Rutines" és una successió de números de manipulació d'alguns dels personatges més emblemàtics del repertori dels titelles. El protagonista d’aquestes "Rutines" no és ni més ni menys que en Malic, l'aventurer, que en aquesta ocasió s'enfronta a la rebel·lió de personatges i elements escènics en una desbaratada comèdia per a titelles.
