Teatro El Sauzal Hosts Jordi Bertran Puppetry Showcase This Sunday

Teatro El Sauzal is refreshing its cultural lineup this Sunday with a puppetry performance starting at 12:00 p.m. The show features the work of Jordi Bertran, a professional with 40 years of experience in performing arts and sound composition.

The performance is divided into two parts. The first, Clàssics, relies on movement and music rather than dialogue, showcasing iconic characters from Bertran’s career. The second part, Poemas Visuales, brings the literary work of Joan Brossa to life. In this piece, foam letters are used to create figures of animals and circus performers, demonstrating how abstract shapes can tell a compelling story.

Shows like this are helping to establish visual arts and object theater as a staple of family entertainment in the Canary Islands. Bertran is well-known for his ability to blend music with physical puppetry, highlighting how the craft has evolved into a more experimental art form. By hosting this event, the theater is not only offering more variety to local audiences but also providing a unique way to experience the Catalan poetic avant-garde through a universal, wordless language.
