CHORPATÉLICOS. Lorca y los niños

Puppet show for young audiences bringing together poems and songs by authors of the Generación del 27, including Federico García Lorca, at the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid.

Chorpatélicos presents a puppet show for young audiences that draws on verses and songs by authors such as Federico García Lorca, León Felipe or Gloria Fuertes, alongside creators such as María Elena Walsh, Vainica Doble or the Hermanos Rincón. A significant part of the repertoire comes from the Generación del 27. Some of these texts may seem unsuitable for the youngest children, but the production finds in them keys that feel close to them.

The staging takes as its starting point an anecdote: while some children were playing, Federico García Lorca told them they were chorpatélicos. This expression gives the project its name and serves as the thread for a performance in which puppets coexist with poems and songs.

Direction and script are by Paco Paricio, who also signs the design and set design. On stage, Eva Paricio works as actress-puppeteer and Pablo Borderías as musician. The team is completed by Matías de Arriba, responsible for construction and painting, and Merce Viladrosa, on costumes.
