Puppet Workshop at the Museum of Angra Once upon a time, there was a ship captain with many stories to tell, who had been sailing the seas for over a year. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who sat in her garden waiting for her husband, who carried the cross of Christ on the tip of his spear. Bela Infanta and Nau Catrineta are two of the most beautiful Portuguese rhymes collected in the 19th century, following the romantic enthusiasm for popular literature, which was believed to reflect the national spirit. They are two stories, two characters, but a complementary reality, very present in the history of Portugal. These were the two rhymes chosen to inspire the characters to be created during a puppet workshop promoted by the Educational Service of the Angra Museum, on 19, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 July. This workshop, which is free of charge, is aimed at children aged 6 to 15 and will take place at the Angra Museum’s Educational Service on the dates indicated, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. In the first three sessions, the rhymes will be narrated and the puppets made. In the third session, a combined version of the two narratives will be dramatised and presented on the last day of the workshop, 30 July. Registration for this workshop must be made by 15 July, by telephone on 295 240 800 or by email at [email protected]. Target audience: variable depending on age group.
