Shows that introduce children’s early literature as well as popular or author’s poetry, with the participation of Roser Ros, the urban dance company Brodas Bros and the composer Gerard Valverde.
Something as apparently simple as a couple of books on a small table, two hands dressed in coloured gloves and a whole repertoire of little songs and games to count, to play at making everything disappear by saying Tat!, to tickle, to jump to the rhythm of arri arri tatanet, to help to eat or to help to fall asleep.
Voice and gaze, gesture and rhythm and, above all, proximity. A playful action made of words, during which the children connect visually and sonorously with the mediator of the session; the duration of these connections has to do with the child and the relationship he/she has with the adult with whom he/she plays.
Objectives:
- To know the oral poetic repertoire of Catalan tradition.
- Discover words, sounds, rhythms that are part of the oral tradition.
- Use of oral language to evoke and relate facts and express ideas.
A small-format show consisting of about twenty oral pieces (poems, ditties, cantilenas) spoken, sung or sung by a reciter accompanied by rhymes and the well rhymed sound of these compositions.
The performer wears an apron and unravels the poems with the help of a table, three plates and other everyday objects which are gradually filled with poetry.
The recital is made up of short pieces from a wide repertoire of poems from traditional literature and also from the poetry of classical and contemporary authors.
With the recitation of these poems, the aim is to preserve the determined will of the words to become part of people through their ears, leaving as a memory the musical and rhythmic mark of the words that make up poetry.
With poems by: Joan Arús, Climent Forner, Antoni Albalat, Joan Salvat-Papasseit, Miquel Desclot, Olga Xirinacs, Maria Mercè Marçal, Núria Albó, Roser Ros, Federico García Lorca, Vicent Andrés Estellés, Joan Brossa, populars.
Contemporary poetry show written by Roser Ros for children and families.
The feet and the shoes with which we protect ourselves are the absolute protagonists of this show aimed at young children.
Boots, slippers, albarcas, heels, peucos, slippers, bare feet just out of the box are paraded in front of the spectators’ eyes to the rhythm and beat of music and songs created especially for the occasion.
The show La gent de la meva escala is inspired by the book of the same name written by Roser Ros in homage to the collection of short tapes ‘Els nens de la meva escala’ published in 1921 on the death of Joan Salvat-Papasseit in the magazine Mainada.
This is a small-format show consisting of a series of poetic pieces spoken in different ways, offering a wide range of ways of bringing poetry to children. It ranges from poetry read aloud to poetry recited a cappella, poetry accompanied by small sound instruments and poetry with a suitable object to give it rhythm. The poems that make up the book and, therefore, the small-format show, talk about people who live in an imaginary staircase of neighbours and the things that happen to them with the particularity of explaining them in a poetic way. Some events are part of everyday life, others only happen from time to time, and some may even happen only once.
La Gent de la meva escala invites children to listen and play with rhymes in different ways, to recite the poems and rhyming songs and also to invent their own rhymes.
La Quela goes to the market, while she sets out rhythms and rhymes born of the reunion of the word with the voice and movement. The new and the old go hand in hand. La Quela, who could very well be the granddaughter of ‘la masovera se va al mercado’, is the protagonist of this small-format stage show that will string together rhythms and rhymes born of the reunion of the word with song and movement.
This proposal, where the new and the old go hand in hand again, is inspired by the repertoire of oral tradition and is recreated through experimentation with stage languages such as music, contemporary dance and Hip Hop.
A show for children, with dramaturgy by Roser Ros and artistic direction by the dance company Brodas Bros!
