Hey, parents!
In this week’s newsletter we’ve got several Easter egg hunts, a charity magic show, the Feria del Comic, an interactive detective show for kids, some fantastic Teatralia shows as the performing arts festival comes to a close, an opera by Mozart, a workshop on phonography, another on butterflies (my kids and I will be at this one!), plenty of things to do at the Alcobendas Science Museum, a puppet show about the poetic journey of a tear, and a theatrical performance about adolescence.

Serious audience interaction
In this Teatralia performance, 8 kids will be invited onstage to become performers, helping explore the art of imitation and challenging the stigma of “copying.”

|
|
A 19th-century technique
In this workshop, kids will learn about an old Japanese printing technique where they will explore the shapes and properties of plants in detail while using them creatively.

|
Celebrate World Puppetry Day
At this free activity, families will use simple templates to make their own puppets and then come up with fantastic stories to put them to use.
