Oral storytelling
These facilities are very suitable for celebrating Sant Jordi, the library party, the school’s cultural week or the neighborhood, town or city festival.
One of the things we like most at Tantàgora is to reflect on and produce new cultural formats that bring the oral repertoire of our land to everyone's ears. That is why for years we have been promoting formats where this repertoire is the star.
Installation of oral narration where the public hears short stories texts through a tube of 2 meters in length. The narrator is located in the center, drawing with the movement of the tube a circular perimeter at a distance of 2 meters from the audience.
The repertoire consists of small pieces narrated from poetic fo-lklore, rhymes, riddles, dwarfs, fables, poetry and short stories.

With the excuse of finding the best place to read books and listen to stories from the library, we invite attendees to play by following the indications of a voiceover that will guide them to the discovery of space and the listening of stories of oral tradition.
If you want to play this game you can play while in the library you develop the usual activity.
