Catalonia. Musical show. Premiere

Come, let’s take a trip. We’re not going to a physical place but in search of the essences of Christmas and the values it represents. We’ll do it through emotion, magic and especially the talent and power of the voices of the Cor de Teatre and the creativity and direction of Segura Bernadas and David Costa. They’ll use not texts but songs to tell the story of a person, stressed out with the festive preparations and loaded with shopping bags, who has slipped and fallen in the middle of the square. Perhaps the trumpet made them daydream, because just like Alice falling through the rabbit hole or a Mr Scrooge sleeping in front of the fireplace, they suddenly find themselves in a place full of magic, dreams and emotions. With the music of those voices showing the way, you’ll discover a world with familiar characters between reality and dreams. Because this is also a homage... to traditional Christmas soup! It features shared magical, emotional scenes that we all know strung together in a montage featuring traditions, Christmas meals and lots of nativity figurines, including the caganer .

And it’s all by the Cor de Teatre, both a vocal ensemble and a theatre company, a choir that includes movement, action and theatre resources. Founded and directed by David Costa, they have been searching for new sounds for 25 years. More than a vocal group, it’s a company that has carved out a new path in the performance of the polyphonic repertoire.
