IV ASSITEJ CYCLE OF DRAMATIC READINGS
THEATRE SHOW FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
ASSITEJ Spain* is holding its 4th Dramatized Reading Series on November 4, 5, and 6, in parallel and in collaboration with the International Theatrical Book Fair.
Once again this year, theatrical readings return to the Casa del Lector Auditorium in Matadero Madrid.
The cycle is made up of three dramatised readings of theatre texts for children and young people that have been published by ASSITEJ Spain.
The readings of the plays become a unique and high-quality experience for family audiences, encouraging reading among children and highlighting the important publishing and advocacy work carried out by ASSITEJ Spain.
Expected readings:
4NOV.12:00h.
The Night of Samaín, by Fusa Guillén.
Alicia Alonso University Institute of Dance.
Directed by: Rey Montesinos and Evelyn Viamonte.
Fusa Guillén offers us La noche de Samaín, a thriller set in Galicia, a place of mythical and magical resonance, ideal for a horror story that will appeal to adolescent readers. Juanjo, his sister Sole, and their friend Telmo live a magnificent adventure, accidentally trapped by the ghost of Rosalía, whom they must help.
Children from 10 years old and family audiences
5NOV.12:00h.
The Sprig of Mint, by Eduardo Zamanillo.
THEATER CURTAIN.
Directed by: Ángel Sánchez.
Asterio could never have imagined the adventures he must go through to get the sprig of mint his mother needs to make a stew. He must solve puzzles, overcome trials, and navigate unfamiliar paths and places.
Some very dark characters won't make it easy for him, others won't let him continue, and those who want to help him won't be able to, because... "No one should help him, no one can help him, no one will help him," but... on the way back home he'll find the solution.
Children from 7 years old and family audiences

6NOV.12:00h.
Sand Shoes, by Suzanne Lebeau.
THE BLUE DOG.
Directed by: Fernando Moreno and Gemma Viguera.
Elisa and Leo live in a closed space, prisoners of the fear of the unknown and of a rigid time measured by an hourglass. One morning, due to an exquisite dream, the desire to do something right, the nervousness of shoes tied too long, time breaks down, the door opens… Heaven and earth turn around… Every day's oranges have a different flavor. The great question of escape into the world arises…
