Which shows work for kids who don't speak Catalan?

Caminos and Posa-hi el cor have no words. Pinocchio uses a little English and Spanish. La Flor Romanial is told in Catalan with traditional Balearic music.

Can I bring a stroller?

Yes. Strollers and scooters are left at the theater door, locked and watched during the show. They can't go into the room.

Does my baby need a ticket?

Babies from 6 to 24 months pay a reduced €3 ticket. Ask the theater about younger babies. Everyone else needs a full ticket.

Can I buy tickets at the door?

Yes, the box office opens an hour before each show, but tickets there cost €2 more than online. You can also book by phone on 639 305 353 and pay at the box office.

About

Barcelona's only theater devoted to puppets hosts its yearly international festival, with a different visiting company each weekend from Castile and León, Italy, the Balearic Islands and the UK. Expect object theater, shadows, live music and a Pinocchio built on stage. The room is tiny, so kids sit close to the puppets and the performers. Most shows lean on images over words, so most need no Catalan.
