by Chilean Jorge Díaz

Music by Vittorio Cintolesi

El mundo es un pañuelo (The world is a handkerchief) features Sharon Desiree as Titiloco; a clown that becomes disenchanted with the circus and sets out on his magic handkerchief to see the world. As he ventures to new and mysterious places, he visits the land of Consumania (Land of Consumerism) and the Kingdom of Humo (Smoke), and meets Mr. Fan, and children who are 70 years old. With jaunty songs and audience participation, Titiloco learns that the world can be a better place when people learn to be responsible, care for the environment, value diversity, and enjoy life. This magical journey of life-long lessons and musical joy and laughter will entertain the entire family.

 

  • Single tickets are $10 per child; $12 per adult. Discount and Group tickets are available for groups of 10 or more.

 

  • Student matinees for El mundo es un pañuelo are scheduled week days March 7 – March 11 and March 14 – March 18, 2016 at 10:30 am.
