Puppets and storms for childhood
“We are not just a building; We are a living organism where overflowing culture inhabits every corner of cement and copper.”
— Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center.
There will be nine family shows that will serve as inspiration and creative example to boys and girls of all ages.
- The contemporary circus will arrive with all its magic with two works that will bring tremors and winds to the stage. In “Earthquake”, the Circo Virtual Artistic Collective will address, after a residency at GAM, telluric movements, combining body, light, memory and technology, to reflect on human nature.
- In “Tormenta”, the company El Límite de lo Propio will combine acrobatics, juggling and dance to play with the forces and energies of the storm.
The full version of “Infinita, Paisajes de Gabriela” will also be premiered, a GAM Production with the company The Master Key, where Mistral is taken by characters from her works to a magical, spiritual and emotional world of her own memory.
The puppets will star in two audience favorite performances. “The Fossil Boy”, by Teatro Marote, will tell the story of a boy who makes an important paleontological discovery despite being punished by traditional education. A GAM and Fitam co-production with dolls and valuable teachings.
And in “Old Wall Clock Wall, an elderly watchmaker will face an emotional journey dealing with an impossible-to-fix clock and the curiosity of his young apprentice.
The Manada company, directed by Francisco Medina, will bring two of its most popular works:
"Lavarropas", where a family's clothes come to life, moving and dancing to celebrate the difference.
A forest", where the audience is invited to enter a forest to inhabit silence, beauty and diversity.
In "The islands also sleep", the Sun and the Moon will tell the story of Sinbad the sailor who declares his home on the back of a sleeping whale.

The group will celebrate its 10 years by presenting a show that fuses theater, dance, music and sign language to bring popular songs to the deaf community. The collective creates video clips and performances in Chilean sign language to make music accessible to deaf people, fusing art, inclusion and education through the translation of popular songs and children's material. Since 2009, they have been researching sign language as a performing language, producing free content such as the NZ Children's Channel project for children, and opening a dialogue between the deaf and hearing communities.
