Un trozo de pan

Object theatre show by the company Les Pinyes that follows the journey of a loaf of bread from its making to the table, with songs, drawings, puppets and magic, designed for the youngest children.

A loaf of bread serves as the common thread of this production by Les Pinyes: the show follows its journey from the moment it is made until it reaches a home, and raises questions about where it comes from, where it is bought or what ingredients it contains. The staging combines songs, drawings, puppets and moments of magic to spark the curiosity of young audiences.

The company, which explores the possibilities of visual theatre, here turns to theatre designed for early childhood. Its previous productions include La favera màgica, BROSSⱯ és BROSSA, Glassmur and Perla, the latter recognised with the Pedra Viva Award. The show has been staged as part of the Cicle Perspectives of the Diputació de Barcelona and at the Teatre Lliure, and has been performed at fairs and festivals such as the Mostra d'Igualada and FETEN, where it won the Best Direction Award.

Performing on stage are Marta Asamar García, Cèlia Castellano Algaba and Noèlia Fajardo Franch, who also write and direct the show. Live music is by Judit M. Gené, and the recorded composition is by Ferran Peig. The running time is around 40 minutes.
