beloved animals that use their tails, ears and whiskers to communicate with

us, humans.

A large circle can represent a ruthless king or a few colorful spots a group of schoolchildren. Other times a triangle is just that, a triangle, but one that has some adventures.

In this session we will discover how to tell stories with abstract shapes and some letters.

How big is the Universe? What is a shooting star? What is inside a black hole? Is there life on other planets?..

A space lit with black light to immerse us in a magical and sensory world, full of planets, meteorites, constellations and stars. A space to experience, play and learn more about the mysteries of the Universe and our relationship with it.

Recontextualization of everyday objects, art and play. Making reference to contemporary art proposals such as ready-made, we will play at changing the meaning of the objects around us by changing their context, their scale or experimenting and giving another value to materials such as wood, plastic and waste.
