Staging

In this edition, a fantasy story will be staged with a double theme. On the one hand, recover our forgotten traditions and, on the other, provide us with a reflection on our culture. The game will tell the story of Joanet, of only 12 years and that after a discussion with his family because he wants to dedicate himself to music, he will visit heaven to teach us all a valuable lesson about remembrance and forgiveness. On this road, full of tender moments as well as absurd comedy, we will meet enigmatic characters such as his great grandmother, famous as all the grandmothers for their meals; an angel in practice a little absent-minded, who with his humor will invite us to live life; four forgotten monsters of the Valencian rondallas or even others more bizarre like a pop diva addicted to smoothies that will make us reflect on the meaning of art.

More from 100 actors

Since last June the group of Living Chess, whose work is altruistic and non-profit, has been rehearsing the work of this edition that will be developed in both Spanish and Valencian. More than a hundred collaborators will participate among musicians, singers, dancers and extras, in addition to the forty students who will play the role of pieces of the game. The Symphonic Orchestra of Xàbia will participate under the baton of Joan Bou, the Salomé Rodríguez Dance Studio and members of the Teatre Jove de Xàbia Workshop.

The representation will be held on the Avenida de Lepanto where stands will be installed to house almost a thousand spectators, with free admission until full capacity is reached.
