Most local events get announced the same way…loads of emojis, loads of noise, and you’re still not quite sure what’s actually happening.
This one’s a bit more interesting.
Something different happening in Icod
“BrillaCultura” is kicking off this week, and it’s basically a community theatre and storytelling tour going around the neighbourhoods of Icod de los Vinos.
Nothing fancy. Just stories, games, a bit of imagination…and something for families to actually get involved in.
It starts on the 25th of March and moves from one area to another over the next few months.
First dates
25th March – Redondo
26th March – Las Abiertas
Both at 17:00 in the local plaza.
Simple setup, easy to get to, no big production around it.
What it actually is
You’ve got Josep A. Baute running it, with a mix of:
Storytelling
Theatre games
Role play
A few activities for kids and families
It’s the sort of thing that works well here…especially in the smaller neighbourhoods where everyone actually turns up and gets involved.
Ongoing dates
They’re carrying it on right through spring and into summer:
April: 9, 16, 23, 30
May: 7, 14, 21, 28
June: 4, 11, 18, 25
July: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
So plenty of chances to catch it if you miss the first one.
Worth going?
If you’ve got kids, it’s an easy yes.
If you just fancy something a bit different from the usual bars and restaurants, it’s probably worth an hour of your time as well.
It’s local, it’s simple, and it’s actually aimed at the community rather than tourists…which makes a nice change.
