The most classic technique of glove puppets (with its color and rhythm) and live music (with its magic and truth) transport the audience to a puppeteer universe of fun and comedy. A show for early childhood where tenderness and play are the protagonists, a special occasion to share theater with the family and be young again.

'Peneque y la partitura perdida de Eduardo Ocón'

Company: Los Títeres de Miguel Pino

In the year of the 125th anniversary dedicated to the musician Eduardo Ocón, the theater fills with colors and music. It will be a very special occasion to discover, through Peneque, the wonderful musical work of the composer and bring it closer to the little ones in a fun and participatory way.

But just before the rehearsal begins... the most important score disappears! A wicked witch, unable to bear the joy and melodies, decides to spoil Eduardo Ocón's visit by casting a mischievous spell so that no one can play a single note.

With the help of Peneque, and thanks to teamwork and the power of friendship, the witch will understand that music is not made to ruin, but to share. The score will appear just in time, and the anniversary will be celebrated with a joyful performance in which families and characters will enjoy the music together.

The play 'Pepín y el Fantasma' tells the story of Pepín, a shy and fearful boy in love with Rosita, the girl of his dreams. But one day, the arrival of a cruel and evil being to the kingdom changes everything. Pepín will have to demonstrate his bravery, overcoming his worst fears and especially if it is Rosita who asks him to.

With the help of the audience, the protagonist will achieve the unimaginable, reaching an ending full of courage, friendship, and above all love.

The play for the whole family contains messages of overcoming, learning values such as friendship, self-confidence, and the desire to overcome the fears that we all have at some point in our lives.
