Officina Teatro de Sombras

In this workshop we’re going to build a shadow theater with sets and everything.
We’d love to write a gallant text to introduce you to this workshop, but every time we try, the shadow theater escapes us.
We could tell you about a Chinese legend, about the sorrows of Emperor Wu, but we thought it best not to do that just yet. So, we know that a shadow happens when we place an object that prevents light from passing through, such as a parasol, which doesn’t actually shield the sun, it just lets the shadow in. This is an workshop designed to be done in a group, with friends and family. It’s also possible to do it alone, but it’s not as much fun. 

Officina is a training project created in 2014 by the Confederation. It’s a word of Latin origin, meaning workshop, factory, school – with the same root as officium (work, task, function), a term made up of opus (work) and facere (to do).

Target audience Children and young people aged 8 and over, with or without an accompanying adult.
