Sopa de Lletres

A family-friendly, participatory show combining humour, live music and stage play to explore the possibilities of words and of the imagination. It is presented at the Teatre Romea in Barcelona.

This show for family audiences presents a workshop where orders for ready-made stories keep coming in, and asks what happens when we stop inventing our own stories. With humour, live music and stage play, it explores the many possibilities of words and of the imagination.

On stage, words appear and fade away, objects take on different meanings, and sounds come together to form a musical pulse. Stories are built live, through play, improvisation and the participation of those in the audience. Cristina Noguer and Ovidi Llorente, based on an original idea by both of them, perform the piece alongside Tanja Haupt, who is responsible for the musical composition and musical performance.

The show is directed by Ana P. Jiménez, with dramaturgy by Dora Cantero. Set design is by Pablo Paz, lighting by Yuri Plana, costumes by Núria Espinach and sound by Nacho López, with movement advice from David Gol. The show is presented at the Teatre Romea, a theatre that mainly programmes performing arts.
