This Tuesday, Sant Ferran Punt de Lectura reopens with story time from "Jully Papallona"

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to announce a story time at 5.00pm on Tuesday 13 September at the Sant Ferran Reading Point (Punt de Lectura). The event is the first cultural activity for children as the Punt de Lectura reopens and local pupils return to classrooms.

Attendees will hear the story of Sofia, a five-year-old girl who does not want to go to bed and asks her mother to recount "Jully Papallona", Sofia's favourite story. The inspiring tale highlights the adventurous and determined spirit of children, as well as love and respect for ancient and ancestral trees. Told by Laura Asensio, who plays an array of characters, the story lasts 45 minutes and is for pupils in year four of primary school and up.

Asensio was born in Barcelona in 1978. With a great passion for theatre, she began her first course in 1999, where she learned techniques in body expression. She developed a great interest in gestural, movement and object theatre, finally opting for clown theatre, which she studied at Berty Tovías' theatre school in Barcelona. In 2004 she took part in the European Theatre Festival, part of Barcelona's Tantaranbana theatre programme, with a troupe known as Papinrom. For five years, she worked in Scotland as a hospital clown with Hearts&Minds and created her own shows, including "The clown & the ring". She also leads puppet-making workshops for parents as a method of interaction with children. Back in her hometown, she taught body expression to the elderly, various workshops for babies and mothers and took part in programmes related to theatre and body expression for people with functional diversity. Currently, she works as an actress at the Granja Escola of Palautordera and travels telling stories and leading workshops at libraries and festivals.

Marià Villangómez library extends opening hours to Friday afternoons

Today the Formentera Office of Culture presented the new winter schedule at Marià Villangómez library and the reopening of the Sant Ferran Reading Spot (Punt de Lectura).

The new hours mark an extension of last year's timetable, which didn't included Friday afternoon/evening.

The expanded hours can be traced to a plenary agreement in which the Consell undertook to study urgently offering service Marià Villangómez library on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings in response to public demand. "We have retooled staff schedules to open Friday afternoons", explained Susana Labrador, councillor of education and culture. "The current situation does not allow for service on Saturday mornings, but as soon as possible we will implement it."

Monday 29 August, Laura Larocca unveils 'Absorción' at 'Ajuntament Vell'

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to announce that from 30 August to 10 September, "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space will host "Absorción" by visual artist Laura Larocca and collaborating artist Lucas Marín.

Sweeping through the room like a tide, the installation features paintings of varying formats, a work table and a film in which the artist shines a light on the experience of Formentera landscapes. "Absorción" also showcases the marine sponge skeletons with which Larocca crafts her paintings.

Schooled in Fine Arts in her native Argentina, Larocca has displayed work in Italy, Finland and France. For the three years she has called Formentera home, a special agreement with the Balearic Ministry of Environment has coupled Larocca's artistic research with found marine sponges.

"Absorción" opens Monday 29 August at 8.00pm and can be seen at Sala d'Exposicions "Ajuntament Vell" from Monday to Saturday, 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm.

The exhibition space is closed Sundays, bank holidays and Monday mornings.
