Dear Educator,
As you plan for a new school year, enhance your curriculum by bringing your students to GALita, an imaginative children’s theatre company of GALA Hispanic Theatre. As part of our 34th Season, GALita will produce bilingual productions that will entertain, educate, and enchant young audiences. |
 El mundo es un pañuelo / The World is a Handkerchief
¨Student matinees: Thurs, Sept 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22, 2009 at 10:30 am
By Jorge Díaz (Chile) – Directed by Laura Quiroga - Bilingual adaptation by Victoria Golden and Hugo Medrano. When Titiloco, the Clown, becomes disenchanted with the circus, he sets out on his magic handkerchief to see the world. With jaunty songs and audience participation, Titiloco learns that the world can be a better place when people learn to be responsible, care for the environment, value diversity, and enjoy life.
Díaz wrote over 30 plays for children. In 1971, he founded the children’s theater company, Los Trabalenguas, which toured Spain, Latin America, and the United States. Díaz’s children’s theater explores such themes as solidarity, respect, ecology, and identity, themes that reflect the interior, imaginative worlds of the child. |
