Chinese Cooking Classes

We put on our aprons and follow the wise hands of the Chinese cooks. Because no trip is considered complete without the element of taste.

Tai Chi Practice 

The art of war, dance, brush, spirit, longevity. The practice of yin and yang fits everything that trains the mind and body, but also every moment, since energy always flows. Passing through 24 positions, we learn the basic elements of Taiji and a short practice for every day!

Chinese Tales

With no stage, with no costumes and scenery, how do the storytellers, those virtuos of the ancient art of narration, enchant! A storyteller of our land, heard the story of the Chinese storytellers and decided that tales can’t be missing from a Chinese fest. So, she brought her own art and started wandering around the village. And what stories does she have to tell?

Great Invisible Powers (puppet theatre performance for 3 spectators by alaluz shadow puppet theatre)

The world’s smallest theatre creates a microcosm in a mysterious magic box and invites you to take a peek at Chinese superstitions. We don’t know if 3 is a fateful number, but this tiny theatre has only this number of seats and its spectators change again and again! 
A few-minute performance for three spectators inspired by the “caja lambe-lambe” technique, also known as “caja magica” or “caja misteriosa”, which comes from another side of the world, Brazil.
* The performance will take place at the Museum’s main hall, with a reduced entrance fee: 3 €)
