The “rondalla” is a popular short narrative, characterized by combining elements of fantasy, legend, and real events, emerging from oral literature. The plot tends to be very simple, with situations and characters common to all cultures. The characters are flat, and both time and space are indeterminate. The “rondalla” is anonymous and forms part of the collective heritage, being universal due to its similarity in many cultures and local due to its adaptation to each community.

The “Príncep Desmemoriat” is one of the 36 stories contained in the 8 volumes of “Les Rondalles Valencianes” by E. Valor, standing out as the focal point of this show. Valor compiled stories from the oral tradition in the Valencian rural regions, with the suggestion of the writer Manuel Sanchis Guarner.

Through the collaboration between Capella de Ministrers | Carles Magraner and the dance company TransferMove | Toni Aparisi, this show offers a new vision of “Príncep Desmemoriat.” By combining early music and children’s dance, the main objective is to bring the artistic expression of dance, early music, and literature closer to the youngest audience.

Recommended for audiences from 6 to 12 years old
