Which show suits a 3-year-old?

Caminos (Oct 9 to 11) is the one marked for ages 3 to 6, and it runs 40 minutes with no words. The other three are marked for ages 4 to 9.

Where do strollers and scooters go?

They stay tied up at the theater door, watched the whole time. They can't come into the room.

How early should we arrive?

The theater asks for 20 to 30 minutes before the show. Doors open 10 to 15 minutes ahead and seats are not numbered, so arriving early gets you a better view.

Can we get a refund if we can't make it?

No, ticket money is not returned. Call 639 305 353 at least 3 hours before the show if something comes up. Latecomers lose their seats once the show starts.

About

Four visiting companies each take over La Puntual, Barcelona's puppet theater, for one weekend. Expect object theater, shadows and music, from a wordless show made of reused everyday objects to a Pinocchio put together live from a carpenter's tools. Each run is a Barcelona premiere, and the shows are short enough for young kids to follow to the end.
