In the Heaven of the mouth
Synopsis
A poem by Pedro García Cabrera (Poeta gomero. 1905-1981) is the lighthouse that begins this story. A man sits on a chair next to a table making paper boats while the music of a psaltery envelops the space with an ancient aroma. The man who makes the paper boats stands up and begins to mix the sidereal spaces with the courtyard where he grew up. His father and grandmothers become planets, stars and clusters. A wealth of small stories to talk about the great and unknown.

Agarrando la muerte
con las manos
Synopsis
‘Agarrando la muerte con las manos’ is a palm tree expression I heard a good friend of El Paso say.
With this title we are going to present a handful of stories, where death and life are mixed with laughter and emotions.
Many of these stories I have already told in other palabreros but this time, with Piroska Duque on the cello and a staging, we want to bring you, between story and story, the history of our legacy in the Canary Islands, the origin and tradition of this day of the deceased, our heritage is a fire that we have to keep burning without it being extinguished.

The incredible story of a cisco in my father's throat
.jpg)
Sinopsis
El espectáculo comienza con los cantos en la era de trilla. Un racimo de historias llenas de paisaje y territorio. Mi padre desde que tengo memoria tenía un cisco en la garganta y contaba una tía suya una historia rocambolesca donde se mezclaban un santo, el amor primero y un capirote.
En la medianía del sur nace este narrador que crece en un patio lleno de mujeres e historias que se van narrando al mismo tiempo que se desgranan los carosos de millo. En la casa no había libros pero nos enseñaron a amar la lluvia. Los cuentos están llenos de personajes que de alguna manera existieron y asombraron al niño que hoy se convirtió en contador de historias.
En La increíble historia de un cisco en la garganta de mi padre hay un librero que llega de la capital igual que las maestras que también llegaron con flores en el pelo y muchas ganas de cambiar el mundo. El aguacero de los santos y Candelaria la Santularia junto a Cholera habitan este artilugio o palabrero.

A Strange World,
a small story
Synopsis
Un mundo raro, un cuento chiquito is a storytelling show where the memories of a child take us to a courtyard that was filled with women who narrated life as if it were nothing. The narrator's voice is guided by the memory of that child who speaks of the earth, the landscape and the stars. In short, the narrator tells the story of life because he believes that all lives deserve to be told.
