Mermelhada

The Casa de la Cultura in Los Llanos de Aridane presents Mermelhada, a puppet, shadow, and object theatre production that reimagines fairy tales through a modern, tender, and critical perspective. In a world where fairies seem perfect and witches are seen as evil, a clumsy yet well-meaning young fairy finds an unexpected mentor in an old witch. Together, they will face challenges and discover that true magic is not always found where one expects it. With humor, fantasy, and a strong educational purpose, Mermelhada is a story that breaks stereotypes and offers new ways to understand bravery, friendship, and female empowerment.
