Spread the word
On Sunday, January 19th, 2025, the Piraeus Group Cultural Foundation will organise activities for young and older audiences dedicated to the art of puppetry at the Museum of Olive and Greek Oil in Sparta in celebration of International Education Day.
In more detail:
"Dolls tell their own story" | Puppet show for the whole family (11:00 a.m.)
Really, what is a puppet show? How are dolls born? How do they come to life, and how do they communicate? In the performance by the Marivi Workshop, the dolls calledGerasimos and Aglaia unravel the tangle of the art of puppetry in their own unique way. Seemingly inanimate materials are magically transformed into dolls, which come to life and pop in front of the viewers. They have something to say, to travel young and old in their own world, which is full of love, sensitivity, humour and emotion. Duration: 60'
Experiential puppet theatre workshop for Primary Education teachers and parents (noon)
Through the workshop, the participants will come into contact with the puppet theatre. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to learn about the theatrical puppet's construction, movement and animation. At the same time, they will discover how the doll can be an essential educational tool, highlighting ways of use both in the classroom and at home. Duration: 90'
Participation in the actions is free.
Seat reservation is required.
