Xopluc!

A children's concert revisiting traditional Catalan melodies, with songs, sound games and short scenes alongside a puppeteer, aimed at families with very young children.

Xopluc! is a concert for families with very young children that takes them on a journey through the Catalan folk song repertoire. The programme brings together works by Narcisa Freixas and Apel·les Mestres, traditional pieces and new compositions by Núria Lozano, who also signs the musical direction and arrangements.

Four musicians and a puppeteer take part in the show. The performance is structured around songs, sound games and short scenes, and its common thread is care, human bonds and the passing of one generation on to the next. Stage direction and dramaturgy are by Iban Beltran and Ana Pérez, the set design and dramaturgy by Joan Alfred Mengual, the educational direction by Anna Faz Florensa, the illustrations by Karina Cocq and the lighting design by Conchita Pons.

The proposal aims to have children and adults share their earliest musical stimuli. Sala 3 Tete Montoliu, in Barcelona, hosts concerts and shows such as this one.
