The Plaza de Canarias in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will host the participatory circus event 'La Piedra de Madera' on Thursday, September 17th, an experience that turns the audience into protagonists.

The company La Piedra de Madera presents an innovative circus experience where the creation of the performance is a collective act. Children, youth, adults, and seniors will have the opportunity to shape the scene alongside the artists, fostering trust, balance, and humor.
Through this interaction, scenes evolve, and the audience becomes an active part of the artistic process. The proposal is enriched by the soundscapes of composer Frantziscu Medda “Arrogalla”, adding a unique auditory dimension to the experience.
The work invites reflection on the ability to transform the seemingly unmovable, like stones, and how uniting forces can make the heavy become light and shared. A message of collaboration and transformation in the heart of the city.
The event will take place on Thursday, September 17th, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at the Plaza de Canarias (Rear of Parque Santa Catalina), located in a central and accessible area of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, between the El Muelle shopping center and Mesa y López avenue.
