Una castanyada de por

The Centre Cultural de Vilanova del Vallès hosts the children's show Una castanyada de por, a theatrical proposal centred on the figure of the Castanyera.

In this show aimed at children, the traditional Castanyera comes down from the mountain to sell her fruit in the square as she does every year. However, on this occasion she is surprised to find that the children show more interest in Halloween customs and their sweets. Faced with this situation, the character considers the need to modernise to avoid falling into oblivion, although the measures she adopts generate comical and misguided situations on stage.

The performance is staged at the Centre Cultural de Vilanova del Vallès as part of the activities scheduled in this cultural space. This theatrical proposal entertainingly addresses the clash between popular traditions and new imported celebrations, inviting spectators to reflect on the survival of traditional customs against current trends through an intimate and accessible staging for the little ones.
