Catral brings together poetry, painting, dance and music in its November programme

Catral Town Council has presented «Noviembre Cultural», a programme of poetry, painting, literature, dance and music events taking place during the month at the Municipal Library and Casa de Cultura. The programme was presented with the participation of the Councillor for Culture, Carmen Sánchez; Paco Illán, president of the Asociación de Artistas Catralenses; and painter Arón Martínez.

Martínez’s exhibition «Luces del Levante» will open at Casa de Cultura on 5 November at 20:00 and will be on display until the 15th. On Saturday 7 November at 11:00, María Ortuño will present her book «Las dos casas de Petra. Corresponsabilidad y cuidados compartidos en la infancia» at the same venue. The event is aimed at mothers, fathers and carers, and will include a play area for children running at the same time.

Dance takes centre stage on 14 November at 20:00 with «Abre la puerta», a performance by the Arraigo company dedicated to «Las Sinsombrero». A week later, on the 21st at the same time, the Banda Sinfónica de la Sociedad Unión Musical «La Constancia» will perform its Santa Cecilia concert, conducted by Mario Ortuño.

Poetry will have its own series, «Poesía y Noviembre», with recitals scheduled for 19:30 at the Municipal Library. The programme features Fernando Mañogil on the 6th, Javier Puig on the 13th, Alejandro López on the 20th and José Luis Zerón on the 26th.

Casa de Cultura, on Calle Óscar Esplá, opened in 1996. The Town Council describes it as a venue for concerts, theatre, cinema, exhibitions, courses, workshops and dance, with cultural activities also aimed at municipalities across the Vega Baja. November’s programme thus brings together events for different audiences and disciplines at two municipal venues.
