What is titelles de garrotada?

A traditional hand-puppet style, close to Punch and Judy: quick slapstick, characters bopping each other with sticks, and plenty of back-and-forth with the audience.

Where do we buy tickets?

Advance tickets are sold online on Notikumi through Acció Cultural del País Valencià, which runs Octubre CCC.

Is there somewhere to get a snack?

Octubre CCC has its own cafeteria in the building, handy for a drink before the show.

About

Joan is scared of nothing, so he heads into a haunted castle where witches and devils take turns trying to frighten him. It's a titelles de garrotada show, the old slapstick hand-puppet style full of stick blows and hiding spots. Kids in the audience help Joan along, and the story makes room for being afraid. Kids who scare easily may want a lap to sit on.
