Our picks of events, camps, and places in Valencia.
Performance
Michael Ende's Momo told with puppets: a girl, her friends in an old amphitheater, and the gray men who come to steal everyone's time.
A solo dance piece that takes families into an underwater world of color, plastic turned into something new, and bubbles that keep getting bigger. Can the sea be saved?
Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, retold the way Roald Dahl wrote them: sharper, funnier and with endings nobody at bedtime saw coming.
Workshop
Kids look around a Memphis design exhibition at MUVIM, then design their own bright geometric prints and turn them into a collage.

Tito's tooth is wobbling in an old toy shop, and Ratón Pérez needs the audience's help to find a surprise.
