The tenth edition of the Moianès Puppet Festival is promoted, organized and directed by Espai Animacions (Centre for Puppet Initiatives), in coordination and with the support of the Calders Town Council. This year, we are abandoning the name of Aplec Titellaire that we had used in 2024 and 2025, recovering that of Festival de Titelles del Moianès, to celebrate having reached the tenth edition.
The 2026 edition will take place from Friday 20 to Sunday 29 March -both included-, exclusively in the municipality of Calders. The program consists of several artistic proposals aimed at all audiences, with shows of very different puppetry styles and techniques.
DON'T MISS IT!

From March 20 to 29 2026 at the Casal Social
exhibition DRAWING MARIONETTES by ROCAMORA
TEATRE
This year we will celebrate 50 years of
professional career of puppeteer Carles Cañellas.
For this reason, in collaboration with the Calders Art
association, we will exhibit about twenty marionettes that
he has designed, built and used in his shows, with the
intention that anyone who wants to can approach it, not
only to contemplate them, but above all to draw them, with
the technique they prefer.
The marionettes will be models that, unlike what they do
on stage, here will remain very still and patient.
Opening hours: Fr

22 from 12 to 1:30pm. Work days from Mo

“La Lluerna Vermella” is a tender exploration of love

between dream and reality, full of magic and visual and
gestural poetry. Love and tenderness are the path of
expression for this proposal. Four stories intertwined by
a red firefly born in the heart of the puppeteer, who will
guide a unique journey where magic and emotion merge. An

show: La Caseta de Xocolata
by: Teatre Los Claveles (Murcia)
IN CATALAN
duration: 45'
recommended age: For all audiences, from 3 years old.
Once upon a time, in a forest not far from here, there
were two brothers, Hansel and Gretel. One day, their
stepmother and father took them into the forest with the
intention of abandoning them. But Hansel, who was very
clever, left a trail of white stones. And so, when they
found themselves alone, following them, they were able to
return home, which did not please their stepmother who,
the next day, sent them back to collect firewood with
their father. But this time, being foresighted, she kept
Hansel's stones and they could not return because the
bread crumbs that, for lack of white stones, he left along
the way, were eaten by birds and, lost, they found in the
depths of the forest a house made entirely of chocolate,
filled with an evil witch...

show: Invents
by: La Sola Teatre
duration: 35'
recommended age: For all audiences, from 3 years old.
Show inspired by a short story by the Swiss writer Jürg
Shubiger.
Ora is a time traveler, she collects moments of history
that do not appear in history books and shares them in the
present. Through her hand we will learn about the
beginning of humanity, the development of the critical
spirit and the first manifestation of human stupidity as
if they were intangible inventions created by humans.
Invents talks about deep topics explained with simplicity,
humor and object theater, inviting the audience to be part
of the outcome. An ode to the critical spirit and the
questioning of fake news to awaken awareness and actions.
The future of humanity is in our hands. Are you ready to
write it?
And some more surprises, which we will announce later...
