A popular story presented as theater
El Teatri is much more than a book: it’s a miniature stage where stories come alive. Each volume in the El Teatri tells-stories collection is designed so children can see the story while an adult narrates from behind, just like a theatrical performance. A participatory and delightful experience that revives the tradition of storytelling aloud.
Peric the Rooster is one of the most beloved and well-known folk tales. The protagonist is a charming and determined rooster who must attend his brother Pericau’s wedding. But along the way, he gets his beak dirty and must ask several characters for help to arrive clean and presentable. His adventure becomes a journey full of humor, rhythm, and repetition, perfect for children to participate and repeat phrases enthusiastically.
A unique and creative format
This storybook-game is designed as a small, sturdy cardboard theater. At the front, there is an opening with illustrated windows and scenes that change like stage sets. At the back, the adult finds the full text of the story, designed to be read with expressive voice and gestures.
The result is an interactive play that stimulates imagination, auditory memory, and oral expression, while also fostering the connection between storyteller and listener.
