The theater company Os Buriti brings to CAIXA Cultural Brasília a fun vacation program for children, with spaces for reading, drawing and living the shadow theater. The experience in “Espaço Sombra” (Shadow Space) will take children and adults to the multiple possibilities of transforming their own silhouettes and shadows. The program also has storytelling, a percussion workshop with the Maracatu Lua Nova Group and a toy exchange fair.

ACTIVITIES:

“Espaço Histórias”
The “Stories Space” is prepared to welcome visitors with books for reading and coloring pictures. A cozy environment that encourages reading and imagination.

“Espaço Sombra”
“Space Shadow”
In this environment, visitors can explore the theater of shadows in its various forms. Hanging fabrics, reflectors, lanterns, figure molds and props promise to surprise the children and their companions with the multiple possibilities of transforming their own silhouettes and shadows.

“Varal de Histórias – Cia Os Buriti”
Interdisciplinary storytelling show-workshop. Two very clumsy actresses come tapping in and set the mood. After the staging of folktales, children create their own stories together, try to dance the characters and play musical instruments. At the end of the activity, the children draw the stories that have been told, experiencing the varied possibilities of creation, communication and interaction, in different artistic languages.

Percussion Workshop – Grupo de Maracatu Lua Nova
In this workshop, children and their companions will experience jokes and experiences of introduction to the basic concepts of music and, more specifically, percussion and maracatu. The Maracatu Lua Nova Group performs percussion workshops together with the master Martinha do Coco in the Paranoá community since 2006.

Motor-Home Carneirinho
On Saturdays and Sundays, the motor home of the group Buriti, baptized “Carneirinho”, will also be available for visitation. Inside the bus, everyone can experience a small traveling house, with kitchen, sofa, bunk bed and bed, where Cia Os Buriti stays when traveling to the small cities of the interior of Brazil. There, children can imagine what it’s like to have a moving house!

Toys Exchange Fair
On Sundays, children and families can practice solidarity economics and share playful experiences by exchanging toys with one another.
