In this weekly updated agenda we propose here cultural activities, workshops, excursions… leisure plans to do with small and not so small children. They are grouped according to the museum equipment or the location where they are held. We hope it is useful to you so you can fully enjoy it with the little ones in the house.
Activities for children at the Laboral, Gijón
[1] · Kukka, the great journey of ACAR Teatro del Mundo
- January 19 Sunday 2025, 17:30 p.m.
In the year 800 AD, in a small and quiet Nordic village, our two protagonists are about to make a decision that will change their lives forever. They will embark on a great journey in search of “The Flower of the Dragon's Wings”. Many stories have been written about this mysterious flower, but no one has yet been able to prove its existence. Is it just a legend? When they return, they will never be the same. This adventure will have changed them forever. A story of adventure, of overcoming, of friendship.
For this work, the company received a Residency from the Performing Arts Program of the Performing Resources Center of the Principality of Asturias.
– Aimed at: ages 6 and up.
– Duration: 50 min.
[2] · Click, Clack, Mú by Titiriguri Teatro
- January 26 Sunday 2025, 17:30 p.m.
On the farm of the Mu and Muy brothers, life is simple and peaceful. The cows graze under the blue sky and the chickens lay eggs to the rhythm of cumbia.
One day, a phone call will change the rhythm of their lives. There will be no time for music or looking at the blue sky… Modernization has come to the farm, completely changing their lives… The new system has left the animals speechless and together they want to regain the closeness of their masters.
Puppets, theatre and animation come together in an interdisciplinary show that discusses many things, such as animal rights, food production and local markets, and the right to protest freely.
Story based on the tale Click, Clack, Moo by Scottish writer Doreen Cronin.
– Aimed at: ages 4 and up.
– Duration: 50 min.
